Be prepared to sleep in the car. If you know anyone along the path, ask to sleep on their lawn or something. Start driving down probably a couple of days out. http://www.eclipse2017.org/2017/maps/whole-us.jpg

You probably won't get home Monday.

Flights New York - Nashville for Sunday - Tuesday (I didn't check Monday evening return flights) seem to go at a bit over $1000, and some still available hotels $300 to $1000 per night.

Could also check prices to fly to some other cities on the path in the map. Kansas City?

KCI (the airport itself) is in the path. I've been through there recently. Huge place; standing in a parking lot there will be enough to catch it.

New York to/from SC is an 11 hour drive without stopping, and the eclipse in the afternoon, so definitely.
