The best place I can think of to go next year is Hill Country Texas. April there has historically good chances of sunshine opposed to cloud cover and the roads are great. Wherever you go don't forget to pack some Moonpies!
This one likely the last one I could see in my lifetime but I was blessed to see totality in 2017 with Vinny and Shuey viewed from Blairsville, GA. We went to the high school in Blairsville which is on top of a mountain. The atheletic practice fields offered plenty of room to park. The football stadium was just across a narrow valley. About an hour before totality the stadium sound system came alive with the sound of the Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" which was the beginning of a long playlist of many popular songs all referring to the moon or the sun. IIRC the last song was the Beatles "Here Comes The Sun" as the last sliver of darkness faded from the image of the sun projected onto a white piece of paper. That day the stars came out in the middle of the day.
