If you booked a place @ Wingate, you can call the hotel once you get to the
Airport, they will send a shuttle bus down to the airport to pick you up,
that will save you on cab. Like the previous contributor said, they will
also take you to the lab location and after the lab, you can call them and
they will shuttle you back to the Airport.
The downside is the food, but the receptionist keep menus for alot of
resturants, on request you can get these menu from her and order some food.
If you do not have a wireless card or access on your labtop, do not worry,
they also have rj45 internet access, a good assest to do a final review of
the almighty DocCD. In terms of the price, it is not the cheapest, but if
you include all the services, it looks like a good deal.
It is possible you would not be able to get their breakfast, because I
believe they server it around 7:00am, but th shuttle leaves around 6:45pm,
so ordering something the night before and storing it in the
fridge/microwave untill the next morning might be a good ideal.
When I took my lab in Dec. 19/05 six out of the eight people who sat for the
Lab that day stayed at Wingate including two guys from Canada and one guy
from England. A bit of OT, I will never forget the guy from England, he came
to write CCIE S/P on 12/19/05, but he said the last time he touched a Router
was in May/05, he also have CCIE R/S scheduled in California in Jan/Feb 06.
He was depending on luck and on the DocCD, but as things turned out, luck
was not on anyone's side on that day.
