I did something similar and went to a D.E. named John Trask in Presque Isle, ME. Its not in the southeast, but fairly easy to get to.
Presque Isle is certainly not in the southeast! Might want to warn everyone about exactly where it is. Presque Isle, Maine, Canada. When you see polar bears playing hockey and "Moose Crossing" signs everywhere you'll know you've arrived. I can't believe there's actually a DE there. Did he drive his snowmobile to the airport to do the checkride?
All said and done, it cost me about $1200 including hotel, cab, food, and everything else you might think of.
By "everything else you might think of", you mean the thermal underwear, sweater, overcoat, ski mask, electric gloves, and snow goggles, right?
In all seriousness, how did it work with no training flights? Where you very current on the plane or was he a "reasonable" examiner? I'd almost be interested in going back up there, just so when I left I could be glad I never had to go there again.
