*hugs* For me it's all about expenses right now (I just had to lay down a cry-worthy amount on tuition because I got no tuition waiver for this semester PLUS all the travel I did this summer) and fall being a really bad time to take any time off work (and we don't get the Veteran's Day holiday off because it doesn't fall on a weekday). Any time after March is way easier for me to take time off, but that usually doesn't work out for others! Anyway, out of the two times above, November would be the most do-able if a miracle happens!
