Paulscho,
You don't have to go to a flight school for that. Come to San Diego, get checked out in a Flying Club and fly your 30 hours for really cheap : $65/hr for a C172 or $47/hr for a C152. Can you beat that ? Also, you won't need a VISA for that. It is vacations for you not flight training.
Check out :

Anyway, let me know... I'm a CFI over here in Southern California and I can check you out.
