ikea,
I'm in the same position as you and I'm off to Florida next week to build some hours. I'm going from Kissimme all the way round the Gulf of Mexico (New Orleans, Houston, Corpus Christi) then up to Dallas and back across to Savannah before returning to KISM. Should burn up about forty hours by the time we've finshed a tour of the Keys etc.
Hope to have a laugh and practice all aspects of CPL syllabus along the way to sharpen my skills up,
Jimbo
