You should revert to plan A or A.5. To see the eclipse is one thing, to feel it is the most amazing experience ever. I caught one in europe in the 90s (I believe) Travelled 9 hours to catch it. The mixture of very strange lighting effects. Sudden drop in temperature and a second dawn on the same day with the birds resinging their morning song will stick with you forever. You can enjoy you food when you get back. You shouldnt miss this.
