Congratulations!!
You are really looking ahead. You said:
"The hardest part is over, but this process will never be truly over. We
have to re-certify in two years."
You could recertify in a week or so, and it would get you the same length of
recertification that you will get if you wait until the day before your CCIE
expires. I thought of doing this, but did not. If I were not involved in
writing CCIE training material I would be pretty rusty now.
Sincerely,
