I agree overall. He mentioned using emerald coast. I think that's perfect and you should prep as much as possible. You can't put a price on being prepared for an interview that will determine the rest of your career. I did a lot of general prep similar to that and then went to rainier the day before to "clean everything up" and it worked well for me. Everyone is different but I would rather someone go the day before than not at all if they live elsewhere and aren't going to go otherwise. The important point here is to prepare as best you can and don't put yourself in a position of not getting hired and wishing you had prepared better.
