Preparation prior to Florida?

Hi all,
I am planning to go to "a" school somewhere in Florida in May to lash out 50hrs and get my ME and night rating. I unfortunately haven't got a clue where I am going to go and also haven't got any idea about procedures, airspaces, routes etc over in the US. So, could anyone tell me what I can buy before heading out to get me up to speed and well prepared prior to leaving. I also want to get up to speed with flying twins, any good generic books that you may recommend? Now to the final question, which school in your opinion/experience has the safest/cleanest planes? By cleanest I don't mean hygiene, I mean knackered interiors etc.
Any and all info, without a debate on which school is best as I dare not ask that question, would be great.
I also would like to have a safety pilot for a few trips, how much can I add to my hourly cost by doing this?

Thanks in advance
