Kauai . . . the new Pullman?

So yesterday I wrote saying that I thought Kapaa seemed similar to Pullman, and tonight I'm just sitting here in my lil hotel room and feel even stronger about their similiarities. I've really enjoyed going to school in Pullman, not just because of the great school but also because of the town and area. Pullman is completely different than Walnut Creek, CA and was a great change for me to move to. Now that I've been in Pullman for the last 5 years (yipe! that sounds so sad . . . sigh), I've had fun am ready for a change. Kauai would be another completely different step for me to take. Although the location is very different than Walnut Creek or Pullman, Kauai share some similarities with Pullman. Kauai has visitors come and go year around, as Pullman has its student population occupy the town for only short periods of time. Pullman is a small rural town but simultaneously very worldly with the events and people that the university draws. Kauai is also very small with close knit communities and rural feel, but can be exotic and worldly with all the things that the traveling tourists bring with them. No wonder I feel so at home in Kauai! That was my tangent for the evening . . .

Today, James and I spent most of the day creating forecasts for 2008. Our internet was down and were limited to only a couple things, but tomorrow we'll hopefully be up and running online and able to finish 2007's budget.
