Given the timetable for the Map, it looks to me like waiting for DaveV to get back from holidays might be the best plan. As Ichabod said, those first and second turn decisions will have knock on effects for the rest of the game.
We'd only be waiting a week or so and it would give us the option of starting up the game on April 1st, a most auspicious day.
