Meteor shower viewing spot?

Hi all, the Leonid meteor shower is ongoing, with peak viewing expected to be Thursday night into Friday morning. For any people into this kind of thing, where do you suggest going to view? Obviously we need to get away from the city, but does anyone have a favorite spot? Thanks!

If you're willing to drop $60 on it and stay up late and can get to Gloucester and want to watch them from a boat with a captive astronomer, see schooner.org. Get there by 11:30pm Wednesday night, sail out into the Atlantic far enough to see Perseids and the Milky Way, back around 2:30am.

Oh, wow. I can't do this on such short notice, but will file away for next year. Thanks for mentioning.

That sounds awesome, but with four of us, a little more than we'd want to spend. Another time, though!
