Pilot Training Advice

I’m planning to go to Florida to complete my FAA PPL and hour‑building at Paragon Flight Training, and I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who has trained in the US or converted back to the UK/EASA system. My plan is: FAA PPL at Paragon (6–10 weeks), then 100–120 hours of hour‑building, return to the UK for the CAA PPL conversion, complete ATPL theory with BGS, then move on to CPL + MEIR with Bartolini Air, followed by APS MCC and later EASA license conversions. For those with experience at Paragon or with the FAA‑to‑UK/EASA route, does this plan look realistic and sensible, and is there anything major I should be aware of before committing to it?
