When can I see the next solar eclipse from North America?

My impression is that there will not be any total SOLAR eclipses visible from North America for a good many years. On August 21, 2017 there will be one whose track goes from Washingtion state, and exits on the east coast near the Carolinas. There will, however, be lots of LUNAR eclipses to entertain us!
