Why the expensive option that will not equipe you for flying in europe?
Why Florida one of the most expensive places in the USA?
It would seem to me that if it is hoursbuilding that you want then you would be better off in Europe or in one of the less popular places in the USA, try Detroit. Michigan is a great place to fly in the summer and the prices are not inflated by the tourist trade.
Or look at this guys website and get a veiw on another way of doing things.

What ever you do don't follow the crowd to Florida without taking a look at the other options............. unless what you want is a holiday with a bit of flying attached.
