New Blog!!!

You may or may not have got my email about this, but I've started a new blog through my business, Goodwin Films.  This one will probably never be deleted, so don't go printing out all my previous posts for your personal records; they'll all be available here on the good ol' internet.

The new blog is:  www.goodwinfilms.blogspot.com

Enjoy!

I'm going to Asia!

Hey family, friends and other faithful followers of my travels.  I leave Tuesday for Hong Kong.  I have never been to Asia before, so as you can imagine, I'm pretty excited about this trip.  As with my trip to Europe, it will be much easier to check this blog than expect an email from me every couple of days.  I'll be traveling with the wonderful folks at Convey Studios.  So, if for some reason I am not posting you can check out Convey's blog at www.conveystudios.blogspot.com.  I'm sure they'll do a better job at keeping up on their blog than I will.

Our travel plans are as follows:

-Fly out of Kansas City Tuesday @ 7:00 am

-Land in Newark, New Jersey sometime after that

-Fly from Newark to Hong Kong for 15 hours

-Probably watch a few movies on the plane

-Land in Hong Kong sometime

-Spend several days exploring Hong Kong

-Go to mainland China (possibly by way of ferry)

-Hang out there a few days

-Fly to Da Nang, Vietnam

-Hang out there a few days

-Fly back to Hong Kong

-Fly another 15 hours back to Newark

-Fly to Kansas City

-Come home

Cambridge, England

I'm in Cambridge visiting some old friends.

Fun Fact about my trip:  I haven't been rained on even once.  Crazy huh?

Another Fun Fact:  A couple days ago I visited Dolly, the first cloned animal ever.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Hey my wonderful family and friends.

Sorry that it has taken me so long to post, but I've just been so busy, running around the city.
Edinburgh is by far my favorite city thus far. I love it. Anyway, I'm alive. I hope Springfield has
been okay without me. I'm going to London tomorrow, and then on to Cambridge.

I'm just going to have to tell you all my stories in person.

Galway, Ireland

Hey everyone.  I'm in Galway.  It's pretty amazing here.  Today I'm traveling by bus to Cork.  I'm going to stay there for two days and then head back to Dublin to sleep in the airport and catch a plane to Edinburgh.  

I really love Ireland.  It's such a nice break from the ultra busy metro areas I've been in the past couple weeks.

The international oyster eating competition (or something like that) is going on in Galway right now.  From what I hear, it's pretty famous.... but maybe that's just among Galwayians.  

That's all the news for now.

Love,

Brandon

Dublin, Ireland

I'm in Dublin, staying in a fantastic hostel.  Today I am going to take a tour of the Guinness factory.  So, I'm pretty excited about that.

This past week has been pretty wonderful... I was in Rome and Cinque Terre.  

The photo here is a photo-stitched panoramic of a small town in Cinque Terre.

This was probably the most beautiful place I've ever been.... it's definitely in the top 5.

I hiked about 9km from Riggiomore to Montorosso.  Halfway through the trek, I hiked down

to the beach to swim and climb and jump off cliffs with some people I met.  It was quite fun.

More photos are on my flickr account.  www.flickr.com/photos/thebrandongoodwin

Anyhow, I'm off to Galway on Thursday and then Edinburgh on Sunday... then Cambridge on the next Wednesday.  I really tried to not plan my trip too far in advance, but I've learned that it's much cheaper and easier if you plan ahead.... and book ahead.... who would have thought?

Love
