My personal recommendation: start with a pair of inexpensive 10x50 binoculars and a copy of Consolmagno & Davis' "Turn Left at Orion".

If you live in the US, you shouldn't have too much of a problem finding dark skies. Dark skies are the most important ingredient :).

Good luck, and clear skies to you.
