Hi Jason,
I wouldn't worry about getting to a horizon spot. Typically you want to go to
the darkest place you can find. Once the radiant comes over the horizon, the
show really starts from where ever you are.
Myself, I live along the coast in NY but I head to the woods in Jersey (my
darkest spot) for all my meteor observing.
