These readers overhauled their travel plans to see the solar eclipse

Tell Us One person changed their eclipse travel plans twice, from Texas to Ohio and, finally, Vermont. Today, a large swath of North America will experience its second total solar eclipse in seven years.

Some travelers who had plans for a Texas trip this week are finding themselves in New England instead for Monday's solar eclipse, drawn by a sunnier forecast more favorable for viewing the extraordinary event.

We asked readers if they'll travel to the path of totality for Monday's solar eclipse and the response was mixed. Nearly 150 readers responded to our poll and 49% said no, 47% said yes, and 6% were undecided. But, according to CNN, "millions and millions of tourists are going to be pushing into the path of totality" on Monday.

The path of totality, where the moon completely blocks the face of the sun, will stretch across parts of 13 U.S. states, including Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. This will be the last total solar eclipse in the contiguous United States until 2044 and the towns in Monday's path are bracing for tens of thousands of visitors and hotels have been booked for months.

Texas, which is on the path, is more likely to have clear skies this time of year, so many solar eclipse enthusiasts booked trips there.

Ahead are the stories of four intrepid travelers who pivoted on the path of totality from Texas to New England when the weather looked uncooperative.

A mom cancelled her flight to Texas for a 10-hour road trip to Vermont

Cristie Dobson, a mom of three from Northern Virginia, cancelled her flights, hotel, and car rental to Texas and instead drove 10 hours to Stowe, Vermont, on Saturday. The original plan was to fly into Houston, stay in San Marcos, and drive to Boerne to experience totality with friends. Then she saw the cloudy forecast.

"In the 10-day forecast, it started looking not good in that area," she said on Thursday. "So I quickly switched gears and researched where it was going to be better. Vermont was the clear winner."

She'll watch the eclipse at a viewing event at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe.

First, Texas. Then Ohio. Now, Vermont.

Scott S., who did not provide his hometown, also scrapped plans to fly to Texas and changed his destination. Twice.

"I, too, originally had plans in Texas, bought flights, had an Airbnb," wrote Scott after reading Dobson's story. "When the weather started to change, I booked a Cleveland Airbnb and flights. Then Cleveland started looking bad, so I switched everything to a bedroom in a condo in Burlington, Vermont."

One reader abandoned his Texas flight for a 9-hour drive to Maine

Ryan T., who did not provide his hometown, is another traveler who changed his Texas plans for a New England destination.

"Canceled on Wednesday original plans to fly to San Antonio. Just arrived — after 9 hour road trip from N.J. — to a motel in Milford, Maine. Me, my best friend, and his 7-year-old son."

This couple left Texas early for Boston and then drove to New Hampshire

"My husband and I planned our trip to San Antonio, Texas 9 months ago, reserving a rental car, etc., " wrote Megan M. from Needham. "On Saturday and Sunday we saw that the weather in Boerne where we planned to see the eclipse was looking really dismal. So we flew back to Boston a day earlier (Sunday). Our plan is to drive to New Hampshire in the morning." — Megan M. from Needham
