Watch out USA - Vermilion is planning a trip...

[Vermilion]

OK. The fiance wants to get his PPL (private pilot's license) and for various reasons it's about 3 times cheaper in the States.
Here's the sticker - I have family in Phoenix and Kansas City, but the best place for pilot training is Florida where I know no-one... For a 3-4 week stay what would be the best thing to do? We're not well off and we need low cost accommodation - what would it cost to hire a house for 4 odd weeks? Hideous? Oh - and what time of year would be least hot and humid? Cos we don't deal well with heat...

Um... I think that's about it. Once he's got his license we may well travel about a bit, I'd love to see the Grand Canyon again and I think my family would excommunicate me if I didn't visit them each... Any general recommendations about anything?
