Yes, the PT trek runs at 19:00 GMT, which is 1 PM Central Time, and you can send a tell to Tyneetryk to set up arangements.
The lakes aren't a bad place to start, they're a safe place to level, but it can be difficult to get to other regions.
You don't have to pick a side, Karavan or Kami. You can get just as many teleportation pacts, though they are not in the Prime Roots or level 250 areas. It's a choice, not a requirement. If neither side seems to be the perfect fit for you, that's okay.
