Default Returning to GA

Hi All,

I'm an instrument rated PP who has not flown in over 10-years; I'm
ready to re-enter the boundless world.

I don't think I need a refresher on "lift vs. drag" and I'm sure I can
execute "turns about a point". But, the airspace designations have
changed, as well as many other things, I'm sure.

I need some opinions: Technically (other than my medical), I only need
a BFR; I'll need some dual-time to get that. Should I go back to basic
ground school to learn the new stuff, or will a CFI bring me current
while I'm getting my VFR chops back up?

IFR is not in the cards right now. I'll want to log VFR hours before
I even consider that.

Thanks for your opinions,

TomC
