If your instructor is your buddy, he's offering to help pay, and you don't have to pay him...Awesome! You could keep current and fly an approach in VFR conditions at every airport w/ him being the safety pilot. Although, if you want a true experience, I'd go solo. I've flown from coast to coast (going west will seem forever!) in a 172. It's a great experience and the best way to see the Country.
