PPL Florida or UK

Hi All

Am 37 and considering getting my PPL.....my dream was to be a commercial pilot...I now have the funds to do this but wife aint happy and also got 2 kids to think about now...plus think I would be considered an oldie if I went down that route...even though I day dream of doing it....anyhow....has anyone got their PPL from florida at all? Am thinking of florida for 3 reasons :

1 ) More consistent flying conditions
2) Better availability of Planes
3) Quicker to get your licence


Am NW based and if anyone can recommend a school with good plane availability at the weekends then please let me know? I have had 2 lessons with Ravenair but their plane availability is taken up by the universitys or that is what the instructor told me.

Also does anyone know of any good plane syndicates NW based....anything from slow flyers to jet provosts....

Any shared experiences that you think would be useful I would appreciate.

thanks
