Probably the biggest issue you will face is weather. Flying in that area is fairly easy, even for a newly qualified PPL. However touring to the Northwest of Florida is a different proposition. When you are training you are flying locally so you step outside, look at the sky, check the weather online or with flight service. If you dont like it you don't go and thats that.

The pressure of going on a touring trip with friends that arrived from Germany is a different situation.

I would say enjoy your flight training, when you get your piece of paper take them on a shorter more managable trip like down the beaches to Key West to celebrate your great achievement. Then go off and enjoy a great road trip together.

Just my opinion !

For example, take a look at the weather in the Orlando area for the next 7 days...
