I read somewhere you want to be facing west, or slightly northwest now that I think about it. You will see the moons shadow approaching (at about Mach 2 or 3, I'm told) when totality begins and the the approaching light as totality ends.
Only visible for a second but worth seeing. I guess well get out a compass (I always carry one for finding off-the-air TV) and scout out a good westerly spot.
