Viewing one of these rare phenoms has been on my bucket list, and now apparently there will be good visibility in SC where I live now. I've been anticipating this for awhile. I even had another cousins' week at the beach lined up, but alas one fave cousin just lost her hubby, so I'm going to have to give the resort week up.
Now, since I live here, I plan to view it from the best possible vantage point. And so I ask savvy TUGgers who may have seen an eclipse in the past...how do you choose a good vantage point? And do you have to buy and wear special sunglasses to avoid going blind? I already have had serious eye problems...already legally blind in one eye... so I don't need to invite more trouble into my life. I want to do this right, i.e. view it and share the excitement without going blind. Advice anyone? TIA!
