Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I had looked into this when the last eclipse occurred, and I had heard some pretty exciting stories from friends who experienced it 1st hand, and forum members here.
But my wife wasn't interested, and I kind of forgot about it, until today. We had family over for dinner, my son-in law mentions "April 8th" to me, and I draw a blank. He says he coordinated a business trip near Indianapolis (~ 3.5 hour drive from us) around that date, so he could be in the total eclipse region. We talk some more, and he was able to get a room for me as well. I'm stoked!
About 4 minutes of totality, ~ 2.5 hours of partial.
We will be in Greenwood, just outside Indianapolis, and almost exactly in the center of the path:

The only ref I found on this forum was for the past one in 2017, with some mentions of the upcoming one in 2024:
