I am goood for any week in July or late June.
Looks good. I'd like to narrow the dates down to a couple of different options. Either week should work for us. Hopefully others will post to say if these dates are ok and if anyone has a preference on which week.
July 12 - 20, 2008
July 19 - 27, 2008
Thanks.

As Mark stated, late June or anytime in July is good. I just need to plan for it now so that I can make sure that my co-workers can cover. No camping please.
