Can't do the 24 (I'm busy during the entire day, from wake-up until the next day at 7:00am); and the 7th, if we can get back on base before 7:00am next morning (my roommate who has to come with us, who is also a good competitive smasher by the way, he has something that day).
Well, try your best to let your wife give you some freedom to come hang out with friends on the 17th! And if it fails, then the 7th it is! Hopefully nothing comes up between today and April 7th though... But I would prefer it greatly if it were the 17th, where me nor my roommate have to be back until monday.
