Book a flight with travelocity.co.uk or globalholidays.co.uk or cheapestflights.co.uk then contact adp-flight.com they will fix you up with transport, accoms and an airplane at prices you won't believe - don't go looking for new airplanes without inop stickers on though will you! The weather is loads better than the UK and the flying much more enjoyable! Florida is OK if you want to sweat off a few pounds! The trip into McCarran international (Las Vegas) is well worth making as is Santa Barbara and Carson City (Lake Tahoe where the winter olympics were held) Don't forget the FAA conversion licence, you can be flown into Riverside for that as part of your checkout ride.
