The celestial spectacle of a total solar eclipse is on the horizon, and travelers are flocking to witness this awe-inspiring phenomenon. Choice Hotels International, a leading hospitality giant, reported a staggering 800% increase in hotel bookings for properties situated within the path of totality on April 8th. This surge in interest highlights the captivating power of natural wonders and the increasing popularity of eclipse tourism.

According to a recent State of the American Traveler report, over 20% of American travelers are considering a trip to witness this celestial event.

According to NASA, the path will begin in Mexico, enter the US via Texas, and travel through several states: Oklahoma Arkansas Missouri Illinois Kentucky Indiana Ohio Pennsylvania New York Vermont New Hampshire Maine Sections of Tennessee and Michigan will also experience the total solar eclipse. The celestial event will then make its way into Canada, traversing Southern Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton, and Newfoundland before exiting North America.

🚀Choice Hotels: Rocking AI Like Tony Stark, But Giving GenAI a Time-Out! 🙅‍♂️

💥BOOM!💥 Our pals at Choice Hotels have been duking it out with AI like Tony Stark and Jarvis for years! 😎🤖 But, when it comes to the fresh-faced GenAI, they're lounging on the bench, popcorn at the ready, waiting for the initial creases to be ironed out smoother than a Superman cape. 🍿🎢

🔥Chatty McChatface Sets the Tech World Ablaze! 🔥

OpenAI's ChatGPT (or as we love to call it, 'Chatty McChatface') has been stirring up more buzz than a Queen Bee's royal rave, but our hospitality heroes aren't quite ready to throw their hat into the GenAI ring. 🐝💤

🏆Choice Hotels: The Tony Stark of the Hospitality Industry! 🏆

Choice Hotels, the folks boasting more brands than Batman's utility belt, aren't newbies when it comes to tech tomfoolery. They've been dabbling with AI and machine learning long enough to make even Doc Brown yell, "Great Scott!" 🕰️⚡

They've chalked up more firsts than a Mario Kart race 🍄🏎️ - from launching the first hotel website with real-time data (whoa, right?!) to developing a hotel app for iOS before it was the hip thing to do. These pioneers have been smashing through tech barriers like the Kool-Aid Man through a brick wall. 😱💥

🎢GenAI: Not Ready for a Joyride Just Yet 🎢

But, whoa there, tech cowboys and cowgirls! 🤠💻 Even though they've woven AI through their operations like a golden thread in Wonder Woman's lasso, they're pumping the brakes when it comes to welcoming GenAI into their tech family. 🕸️

Choice Hotels' resident tech genius, Brian Kirkland, sees GenAI as a lighting rod ⚡🧲 with the potential to flip the script on guest decision-making. However, like a cautious Jedi sensing a tremor in the Force, he suggests we're still in the training wheels phase of this tech and it's got some growing pains to overcome. ���👽

Despite GenAI's hiccupy beginnings (hallucinations? inaccuracies? IP issues? Yikes! 😬), Kirkland believes that when GenAI hits puberty, it's gonna be a game-changer - a 'leapfrog' moment for the industry quicker than Sonic the Hedgehog after a power-up. 🐸⚡

👀Choice Hotels: Watching GenAI Like a Hawk (or a Bat) 👀

GenAI might be a fledgling just yet, but the folks at Choice Hotels are monitoring it like Batman over Gotham City. 🦇🌃 They're confident that when GenAI comes of age, it's gonna be a game-changing tool that could give Thor's Mjölnir a run for its money! 👀💪🔨 Now, if that's not a superheroic endorsement, I don't know what is!

I made a few more updates that I didn’t get to post yet— so I’ll drop them here-

Now, Further updates

I’ve been a bit negligent with updates once I realized how I noticed I was spiraling, which my mask dropped and my ideations came to the forefront. I apologize for the triggers and guilt it caused.

Despite how much I was projecting online, I have been working on things behind the scenes while seeking financial aid that I still need. I’ve been in contact with Heartly House and DHHS, while bouncing from hotel room to hotel room per night. I have filled out the Government benefits questionnaire to see what could be possible for my situation. I have filled out an application for Shepard Pratt with assistance from DHHS…and I have an appointment next Monday to fill out a SNAP application.

I have also sought counsel and guidance in my spiritual recovery, I’ve also been working on hand washing laundry to hang dry the best I can from within the room. Now my body…did crash. It did, ashamed to admit. As a result, I’ve been in bed all day today, despite needing to shower and detangle my hair. 😅

But…things are slowly.. little by little…looking up. I’m stabilizing my life slowly with assistance from viewers like you, and the few I was able to reach in social work programs with resources. So the worst low I’ve ever been in, did not stay that way. Things are still hard, I’m still needing financial assistance and proper housing of my own. But I feel like I have a decent chance in transparent clarity. I know where to move and how to move in my next steps unless something shifts to adapt.

I thank you for your patience, understanding, and uplifting of my posts and links. I greatly appreciate all of you. Be safe in this heat, and stay safe these days. ✌🏽

I hate to tag yall again, happy pride month-if you’re able to share this and interact in any way to the videos and posts above, that would mean a lot. Or even drop a dollar, it would do wonders to help me extend my hotel stay past Monday.

End of a seriously fun shop at @petticoatlaneemporium involving a stop at the Comfort Inn for a bowl of soup and glass of wine. Miserbiy drizzly outside so a welcome respite! Then a walk back to my Ramsgate b&b. The last building is a former gasworks office which closed in 1958. . . . . #onholiday #thanet #kentcoast #northkent #northeastkent #ramsgate #comfortinn #choicehotels @choicehotels #glassofwine #drizzlyday #kentarchitecture #oldgasworks (at Comfort Inn Ramsgate) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1WSamAHCJE/?igshid=3k8eklyutbds
