Mint,
One thing, if you want to venture down into Miami airspace, Be carefull. it is the busiest airspace in the world that PPL's can fly into, all the airfields have the same runway layout which makes Nav a little tricky. I did it at night for the first time and it resulted in a BAD situation.
At the time I had around 110 hours/IMC in Florida airspace and lots of that in Busy airspace. Not trying to scare you off, 'cause Miami is a nice place to go but just make sure you 'Self brief' very well.
Make sure you let the company know what you want, I have a few friends that spent 3 days trying to get checked out ( due to unservicability ), and only managed 3 hours in a weeks holiday.
