Good luck, I'm currently doing my ATPL DL with Bristol GS - thoroughly recommend them.

Woah there lad!
I might have missed this point being raised as the thred crept off a little, but you certainly don't need an FAA licence to fly with passengers.
Well, not exactly that - you can have an FAA 'licence' issued on the back of your JAA licence. It's a fairly simple paper exercise. You download the forms off the FAA website and send them to the nearest FAA office (FSDO) to the place you'll be arriving into the US. Then, a form goes to the CAA (with some money, of course) and they validate/release your details to the FAA to confirm you're who you say you are. Eventually, the FAA send you a letter saying that you're good to go and that you need to book an appointment with the FAA office for when you arrive. Then, on arrival into the US, you go to your meeting with them, they go through a couple more things and if everything is in order, they issue you with a temporary permit (the permanent thing arrives in the post some weeks later to home).
Of course, parallel to this, you need to speak to some schools out there who will willing to rent an aircraft to you, check you out on the aircraft etc..
I did a lot of hourbuilding in the US and went through the same process. All in all, the whole experience was one of the most rewarding things I've ever done.
