Jeremy,

When are you going to Florida?? There is a field west of Ft. Lauderdale that I can highly recommend in Markham Park for flying jets as well as electrics or gas. Entry is free. Make sure you have a membership card for AMA or other similar model aircraft insurance.

A good friend of mine flies there regularly named Joel Cimmino. There are plenty of helpful people to assist you as well.
