If you missed the July '09 total solar eclipse in Asia you will have to wait a while for a really good one. The next one might be a good excuse to visit Tahiti but it is often cloudy there. Once there you would have to take a long boat ride to an atoll to experience totality. Or maybe just visit the Cook Islands or Easter Island. From the NASA website:

On Sunday, 2010 July 11, a total eclipse of the Sun is visible from within a narrow corridor that traverses Earth's southern Hemisphere. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow crosses the South Pacific Ocean where it makes no landfall except for Mangaia (Cook Islands) and Easter Island (Isla de Pascua). The path of totality ends just after reaching southern Chile and Argentina. The Moon's penumbral shadow produces a partial eclipse visible from a much larger region covering the South Pacific and southern South America.
