Default Training

I am interested in getting back into soaring, its been 24 years since I
soloed at age 16. My job constraints keep me busy and my days off are
usually during the week. It seems most club flying is on the weekend
which means taking off work, if I can get it, to go soar. I'm looking
into taking a two week vacation and going to a school such as Estrella
Sailport for lessons. Has anyone tried this or any other schools? I am
currently located in the Dallas, Tx area which means travelling, with
the wife and kid, to a remote area where they sit for two weeks while I
have fun. Are there schools with local entertainment nearby? Should I
pass my written before I go to a school. IS joining an active club the
best way to get started? Any helpful suggestions are welcome. Thanks
