After weighing up all the costs and considering the weather I have decided to go to FlyCorona in California. I have the flight booked for the end of Jan for 3 weeks.
I am renting a Cessna 172 for 60 hours at a cost of $53 Dry and planning to do some long trips and fuel up along the way.
I would be grateful if I could get some advice as to flying in America. Is there any good websites to brush up on the ATC phraseology etc. I have discovered Skyvector.com, it seems like a great tool.

Also, I would like to get a gps as back up. Can anybody recommend a cheap one? I may buy an Iphone (in desperate need of a new phone!!) in the new year and get an navigational App for it, are they reliable?
Sorry for all the questions. I am bit anxious about flying somewhere completely different but it should give me a good confidence boost. Thanks again for all the advice
