I can travel anywhere in the US...

Tina,

You need a location that flies every day.

You need a location that has Designated Examiners that are authorized
to conduct initial the CFI-G. It will be difficult to get an FAA
inspector if a DPE is not available.

You need a location with good weather that will not hinder your
training.

You need a location that has instructors that have trained many
applicants for not only private, but also commercial and CFI--also the
regulation requires this experience for an initial applicant's
recommending instructor. See 14CFR 61, Subpart H.

You need a location with a large enough fleet so that scheduling will
not be a problem.

You WILL need to show up prepared to work, and should have both
writtens passed, along with a head start on a reference library. It
can be done, but you will work hard.

I know a good place.
