I’m grateful to be ~30 minutes away from totality. But I’m still shooting to spend the extra 2-3 hours driving to a place typically only an hour away just because it affords opportunities after the eclipse to entertain us while the traffic leaving the destination can taper out. On the previous eclipse, it took us about 3 hours to drive 20 miles, after the event. I’m not making that mistake again.

Yes, it's better to stay put for quite a while, the roads and highways will be stupidly full as almost everyone rushes to leave the moment totality is over. Then party through the night after the eclipse, share with others what struck you the most.
