My wife would be useless on helping me with the CCiE, but she does want to
see me at lunch and lend moral support. She's also required to check my
blood pressure a couple of times a day.

Eric,

 

How romantic will this be; you doing your lab, your wife chilling outside
and everytime you have a brain block all you have to do is remember her (and
all the good times) and you'll be fine......what a life! Then after the exam
she wipes all the fear, stress and co away with a smile and a reassurance
that you'll be ok, you become CCIE 1(7 or 8)xxx (since there are less than 9
numbers left before the 18000 mark), and you guys leave happily ever after!
And as a topup, she gets interested in the Cisco/CCIE thing......you
encourage her to give it a short.......she does.......you become a double
CCIE (Mr and Mrs)! FYI; you wouldn't be the 1st as I meet one at Cisco SJ 5
years ago.

 

Now I need to book a flight for mine,......lastminute.com (don't work for
them)!

 

 

Ok, wake up you(me), I got a date to keep....and that would be a "lab date".

 

Efi

Hi Eric,
each building (including building C where you'll be
going) has a lobby with a couch and a phone, but is
not a lounge and it can be painful to spend there many
hours.
Nothing much at a walking distance either
unfortunately.
The cafeteria (building D) can be accessed by badged
people only, but they accept guests if attended (that
is how the proctor takes you in).
I believe the proctor won't have any problem to let
you r wife eat there as well (btw. they accept
cash...mmmmh not the proctors, the cafeteria I mean
hehehe), but I'm not sure if with you.
I'd suggest her to spend her afternoon in the
cafeteria if the proctor allows her to do so. It is
much more of a pleasant place than the lobby...people
hangs out there all the time. There is even a small
coffee bar that stays open 'till 4.

If she gets out I believe she can re-enter from the
entrance that is in the lobby at any time (it is not a
badged entrance from that side if I recall right), but
she runs the risk to be stop by the person at the
desk.
I'm not sure she'll be allowed in again at that point.
