Using them to plan over long distances would be a pain, but an Aeroplanner membership is $4.95 or $12.95 for their graphical planner.
And Genghis, how do you reckon those Sky School guys get their planes for rent to fly without pilots? (look at the pictures)

Not wanting to spoon feed, but the cheapest places I know are the clubs in the San Diego area. No sales tax and no profits for shareholders. I still think you could beat CA, FL and AZ prices in the mid west but I don't know where. Find out which clubs have planes based at montgomery field (MYF) and this will lead you elsewhere.
If you are planning to spend $10-15k might be worth putting an advert out somewhere and seeing who bites, that would be an attractive offer to some private owners, it would pay a lot of fixed costs.
Also look into insurance, around $220 for a policy that covers a $5k deductible on hull + a few hundred grand in liability, probably worth it.
No point in planning at this stage, it will depend on the weather and what you find interesting on the day. Just get the WACs for now. Get up on the day and decide where to go within your fuel range.
