Alright, so this will probably change, but here is a better idea of the timeline I’m planning on for getting my number.
July 15th- CCIE R&S written exam
July 15th, 2010 – June 15th, 2011 – Prepare for lab
Mid June, 2011- Internetwork Expert 12-day bootcamp here in Tampa
Mid July- Lab attempt in RTP
Mind you, I will be on paid leave from July to September, so I will have nothing but time to prep for the lab and tie up any loose ends. I’m really hoping this will be “it”.
So anyway, I might be getting ahead of myself, but only time will tell. Time to hit the books 
did you take your written yet?
Nope, almost done with my reading. planning on the written in 45 days. Going to start on my lab studies in the meantime.
