Best place? After 10pm from my balcony under a crystal clear Bermuda sky. Care to join me?

Do you have anymore info on that AL? Best times to watch and where?
Look in the northeast sky about midnight until 3 or 4 AM ...
Every August, just when many people go vacationing in the country where skies are dark, the best-known meteor shower — the Perseid meteor shower — makes its appearance.
The "shooting stars" promise to deliver an excellent show this year to anyone with clear and dark skies away from urban and suburban lights.
The best time to watch for meteors will be from the late-night hours of Wednesday, Aug, 11 on through the predawn hours of Aug. 13 – two full nights and early mornings. Patient skywatchers with good conditions could see up to 60 shooting stars an hour or more

I was out at the lake last night and saw a bunch of shooting stars. It was pretty cool.

Another you can look for is the planetary triangle in western skies after sunset..
This year, early evening is also prime time for seeing a pretty grouping of planets: Venus, Mars and Saturn can be identified as the sparkling points of a triangle in western skies between sunset and about 10 p.m. local time.

Explanation: On the night of August 12, from moonset until dawn was a good time to see meteors. Enthusiasts watched as comet dust rained on planet Earth, streaking through dark skies during the annual Perseid Meteor Shower. Anticipating the shower approaching its peak, astronomer Marco Verstraaten recorded a series of exposures capturing meteors over a period of 6 hours using a wide angle lens from a not-so-dark site in the Netherlands. Combining them still produced this dramatic night sky view with many colorful meteor streaks. The starry backdrop includes the Milky Way and even the faint Andromeda Galaxy, right of center. Although the comet dust particles are traveling parallel to each other, the shower meteors clearly seem to radiate from a spot on the sky in the eponymous constellation Perseus. The radiant effect is due to perspective, as the parallel tracks appear to converge at a distance. Bright stars in Perseus extend into the gap between the foreground trees.
Thank you Algol for this
