Hi! I agree with Gertrude, during the beginning of my ppl training here in Belgium (where the weather is not the greatest either), my husband and I together with the kids went for a holiday to Portugal, not wanting to "waste" all the good weather, I went to the local flying club, hired an instructor, loaded up hubby in the back and off we went for 3hrs. That was the most fun flight I have had in my training! great instructor and did 6 touch and goes at 6 different airfields! great new scenery! at the end of the flight I just got the instructor to sign my logbook including his license number, got a copy of his license and the club even gave me a signed letter stating that I did in fact 3 hrs with them. So, hours are logged (but not towards ppl training), and was great fun and new learning experience! plus the first time I took a passenger up as well! hubby loved it!

I would say do it!
