My father the astronomer is the cruise director. He's been on several eclipse expeditions, the first being to French Polynesia literally just before I was born. I've never gone with or seen a full eclipse, so this will be a treat. He's been preparing: new telescope, old telescope, filters, and camera gear. I'm making a pinhole camera, for giggles.

Dr Devinney knows his stuff and is fun, too.

Excellent. So lets keep in touch as the day progresses. I hope we will be a group of five...
