The question that you need to ask about flight training in Florida is, after Florida has endured four hurricanes will there be any flight schools left.

Before I would jump on a plane to Florida I would check on the status of the airport and flight school. Florida has been hard hit with four hurricanes so far and my fellow controllers down there tell me, that a lot of aircraft have been destroyed, several Air Traffic Control facilities have been severely damaged, and living conditions in Florida are limited due to the number of homes that have been destroyed or damaged. Some areas of the state are still without electrical power, and as quickly as they restore power another hurricane comes along and knocks it out again.
