I saw the last one near Cape Town, SA. It was cool.
Here is a site to find the times for your exact location.

**Do NOT attempt to view without eclipse glasses (the cheap paper ones are fine if they're CE certified)!!!!

NASA is doing its part! Live webcast from Hawaii and maps.

Not that there's all that much to see, it'll just be a black dot. It was a big deal in the 18th century but today it's not the 18th century. I'll wander out with my eclipse shades and try to get an urban view, maybe with a kestrel in it. Nice day for a walk in any case and there are sure to be rabbits and if I'm lucky a skunk or possum. A big city rat would make my day more than the Transit, but I'm more likely to see the Transit, so I will take what I can get.
