Want to start practicing classical guitar ... any good starting points?

Hi all,

Over the last few month, i've been neglecting my electric guitar, and doing the exact opposite with my classic guitar ( i've got it in my hands for at least 1 hour a day, but on an typical weekday it averages around 3 hours ). I'm really becomming more and more interested in classical guitar, and i have decided that this is what i really want to go for. The sound of this type of guitar + the challenge and fun of the righthand technique does it for me. The problem is that i have no idea where to start. I've tried looking for a teacher but private classic guitar teachers can be found nowhere, so i'll have to depend on myself.

Any tips? Any good songs to get started on? I've been looking at some youtube video's of people playing Air of J.S. Bach, it doesn't look very easy but at least its not too fast. Should i start with that one or are there better starting points?

Suggestions are very welcome.
