It sounds to me like you have enough background and are savvy enough with placing gear to make it well worth your while flying to Frog for a week if you feel like you can get up 17's and 18's at the moment.
Your form will build quickly if you don't try to do too much the first couple of days. Routes like Blood Sweat and Tears, Elastic Rurp, Hollywood Rattlesnake, Gladiator, Resurrection Corner, Fluid/Epic Linkup and Iron Mandible will get you going. The quality really kicks in at 19 and you will soon be plotting your next trip if you like - or start getting a better handle on - jamming.
Two good tips for Frog: lots of cams but don't overlook the wires, and remember to set your cams as they can have a tendency to skid on the slicker surfaces.
Enjoy!
