I would just file as you are going on vacation only for a week. Not a big thing. worst case you can push the appointment. For all appointment you will have atleast two weeks lead time except the oath.

If you look at the other threads that have Aug 2013 or Sept 2013 filers, then you can get an idea of how long the process takes for people, though your results may vary depending on your situation/filing office.

That being said, we were able to just walk in 2 weeks early to do our Biometrics Fingerprint Appointment (NYC office) before our scheduled appointment. I've heard multiple reports from other offices that they did similar early walk-ins.

The N400 Interview Date, however, is more tricky. Check out the following thread/post to read about examples of people who have done it.
