The comment said “worth it” without specifying what it was worth. That was the reason for me asking what worth it meant. Was it worth traveling? Paying for a flight? Taking a day off? Simply walking outside? The effort to see it is relevant to know what it means when they said “worth it.” Hope that helps you understand.

    Don’t know what to tell you. “Worth it” was my personal opinion of the event and efforts to see it, to which you seemed clearly to indicate that such an event was not worth going out of your way for or paying lots of money to see. I don’t understand what me providing further information could offer you.

    If you want I’ll gladly share our process, but I cannot help you with your personal feelings of whether our efforts were subjectively “worth it” by your measure.

    You did tell me what you did to see the eclipse in your follow up comment, which showed me what you thought was worth it. It seems like you are taking more offense than was implied. My question was simply to learn what the effort was.

    As for my personal feelings I don’t need help. I’ve seen a total solar eclipse and know what effort I would go through to see another. There isn’t even an argument her. I was simply looking for clarification which you provided in your follow up.
