    Many thanks for the well-wishes folks, all very much appreciated. I got back in last night and actually had to hit the hay at 9pm. No big mad parties, we moved back to FL as I was ramping up study for this so I don't really know anyone here, though there was some celebration at home icon_twisted.gif (so shoot me for TMI, I'm married, it's a big deal icon_wink.gif ).
    It's weird right now not thinking about the next lab session, or which book to hit, very hard not to just start on the CCNP (which will be next, and yes I might just wear the CCIE T-shirt - IE send you one with yout number on it for free) but I'm going to try and relax for at least the next week before planning that out. I also want to do some boning up on the new Sec blueprint too, I don't want my skills to stagnate just because of the number and I think if I let it go too long I'd get out of the habit and studying would get a lot harder.

    So right now I'm just starting to check back in with old friends, and work to let them know I'm alive, and trying to start formulating some plans for the future work wise. First though, Taco's....

    Sounds like an excellent choice!icon_wink.gif:)
    I usually hang out on 224.0.0.10 (FF02::A) and 224.0.0.5 (FF02::5) when I'm in a non-proprietary mood.

    And the name of the country only rich people know about (if you don't watch 30 rock that one might be lost) :).

    ahriakin,
    It's weird right now not thinking about the next lab session, or which book to hit, very hard not to just start on the CCNP

    ok man, take a deep breath for a while :)
    just take some times to enjoy the number,
    and enjoy that smiley face when you walk around people saying : "hey dude, i'm a man - not a number :) ", hahahaha icon_lol.gif
    and yes I might just wear the CCIE T-shirt - IE send you one with yout number on it for free

    ok, enough already :D
    maybe me, networker, and itdude start to think that you are trying to make us jealous by that number thing?
    hahahaha ... just kidding mate icon_lol.gif

    enjoy the number and your unforgetable moment in the industry!!!

    cheers!!!
    the More I know, that is more and More I dont know.

    A.P.A - Nah there was another (at least) last year, he doesn't post much, name began with an S is all I remember without doing a search.

    Rossonieri - Trust me you're getting off easier than the wife, everything I say to her has the number incorporated, they're like the numbers in Lost, or if you watched Little Britain USA I'm the CCIE version of "Bing Gordon - 8th Man on the Moon!" icon_wink.gif

    Congrats! I can only imagine how good it must feel to see that "pass" email and get your number after all the time and effort required to get there.
