So, I'm 18:30 hours in, solo CCTs and all written exams complete but due to a combination of circumstances i am running out of time and would like to get away somewhere with reliable weather and complete a two-week intensive course.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I would rather avoid the USA as I can't be bothered getting yet another American visa, and ideally I'd like somewhere my wife and two (very) young kids can enjoy lazing around a pool.

I have emailed Fly-In-Spain, Jerez (all three email addresses) and had nothing more back than an automated reply (but that is a rant for another day - I can only assume they are making too much money and don't need my business).

So, where else is there?

(NB I've also posted this on the Flyer forum, but I know there are a couple of PPLs on here too)

How about Cyprus?

Upsides. You'll get to share circuits with the commercial traffic. The family can stay nearby. Weather.

Downside. Not too much land to cover before you stray into Northern Cyprus and get shot down.
