Trouble is with the 152 prices at around $6000 is the compulsary upgrade fee if you weigh more than 170lbs - which is 80% of the male population; so expect to have to pay the compulsary aircraft upgrade fee to the piper etc and of course, the accommodation and car - YOU will need a car in the USA - there is no public transport in Florida.

Make sure you compare every little cost from flying hours, to compulsary upgrade fees, accommodation cost, car rental, airport pickup.

Those who don't will find out the hard, and very expensive way that they did not do their research properly, that the cheapest price isn't the cheapest at all! (Having done so my self when 17 with my visit to OBA )
