Ah, excellent--I'd considered the moved X day to 31 Mar, but not the part about the PB day.
Not sure about the application, though--if I bid off on 1 - 3 Apr as you suggest, what would I be dropping the PB day on? (NB, I have exactly zero experience with PB days.)
Is there a time limit (minimum) on how far out you have to drop a PB day?
Thanks for the pointer...!
