Seriously. Why do you need an instructor to build time for your commercial ticket? Instrument rating I can see the need, but not for commercial.

Doing a trip like that solo or with a non-pilot friend will teach you ten times as much as the best instructor could ever teach you. It'll make you a much more competent commercial pilot, which is, after all, the point of building all that time.
