In my experience, most people need time to internalize what they are learning in flight training--at least for the first 20 hours or so. Flying every day MAY be counterproductive at first. It might be a good idea to start on the PPL locally up to solo (or get a sport pilot certificate). Later, on your vacation, I would probably go to someplace that specializes in intensive PPL training. Somewhere that will guarantee you can fly everyday, to get your req'd cross-country, solo time, AND time to work on your ground reference maneuvers and various T/O+landings types. A local FBO with a couple of planes probably will not be able to do that, esp. on weekends when people want to rent a 172 for several hours at a time. Practicing on MS flight sim is also particularly beneficial for learning VOR nav, and hood work--even use it to familiarize yourself with your cross country before you fly it.
