Hello eveyrone:

The Geminids should be quite good this year, as the Moon as the Moon is  
almost new so that it won't interfere. The only down side is that the  
peak is forecast to occur around noon on Friday the 14th. This meteor  
shows takes a day on either side of its peak to fall to half of its  
intensity. This means that you should look on both the night of the  
13th as well as the 14th. Hopefully one of those will be clear.

Meteor showers are best seen after midnight when we are hitting them  
"head on".

As with most things astronomical, getting away from cities and other  
source of light pollution will help a lot.
