Just to double check (because I am about to make an order from digkey) (and my last order.. I had some wrongly ordered parts)

Ah grasshopper, you have missed the calculation of the cap values.

C = 2CL - Cstray

C = (2*18)-6 Guessing at 5-6pF or thereabouts

C = 30pF

The reason for this, in short, is that from the crystal's point of view, the caps are in series.
