US procedures are a doddle, a couple of hours of briefing and a check flight and you'll be away.
I can't imagine why everyone goes to Florida, there are 51 other states all with aircraft for hire to choose from. Google is your friend...
On the other hand unless you particularly want to go to the US it won't necessarily be much cheaper than doing it at home when you take airfares and living expenses into account.
Look into buying a block of hours dry at home and see how it compares.
