http://wichmannstories.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 28, 2010. Talking about the past. part 3. The final leg of our 4 country, 12 day vacation as a one night stop in Tokyo to see friends Holly and Skip, with their kids Skylar and Blayden. We took an overnight flight from Malaysia and arrived at their place early on Saturday morning. For the Red Sox games, and then where we stopped in when passing through. After dinner we headed across town to take them to the jazz bar we went to last time we were here so that we could see Stan Gilbert.

Wichmann Stories: January 2010
http://wichmannstories.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 28, 2010. One small thing about our return. So my six pairs of new pants all came back from the cleaners just a little bit smaller, having shrunk after being introduced to the dryer. It looked like I had suddenly grown 3" since moving back, and that forced me into having to head out and buy all new pants. Between the tailor and now I've purchased more pants in the last three months then I probably have in the last four years. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. General thoughts on our return.

Wichmann Stories: Officially on Antarctica
http://wichmannstories.blogspot.com/2013/02/officially-on-antarctica.html
Tuesday, February 5, 2013. After two plus days of crossing the Drake Passage we awoke excited to be deep into the Weddell Sea and close to Snow Island. Snow Island was the focal point of this trip, the Emperor Penguin Rookery where the penguins would have just had their chicks and we would be able to wander amongst these southern giants and their newly hatched babies. Adelie penguins making the long trek across the ice to get to the water. Helicopters on their way out and back again with other passengers...

Wichmann Stories: February 2013
http://wichmannstories.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 11, 2013. A full day of penguining. The day after being flown over to the continent of Antarctica and we awake to a day's plan that has us heading over to Devil's Island to see an Adelie penguin colony. Based on the group numbers and the order shuffling that works to make sure everyone gets a chance at the front of the line, we are scheduled to take our second trip on the helicopters just before lunch is served. By stinky I only mean that you can smell them when you walk up to them, but ...

Wichmann Stories: September 2010
http://wichmannstories.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 2, 2010. Wow, it sure has been a while since we've written a post here, I was thinking that I'd apologize for the lack of posts but that wouldn't be fair since I can't promise that it won't happen again. We've been busy, and for some strange reason being back in the States doesn't lend itself as easily to writing a quick post every day, or I suppose even once a week, or month…. And that's not including. It's been a busy time since we've been back. So why post now? But all I really wan...

Wichmann Stories: Finally - on to Antarctica
http://wichmannstories.blogspot.com/2013/02/finally-on-to-antarctica.html
Sunday, February 3, 2013. Finally - on to Antarctica. The brief pause in posting was not just to build up anticipation for writing about the remainder of our trip, but just an abundance of work which took precedence over taking the time for storytelling. I do apologize and plan to pump through and get caught up on what I feel I owe to those of you who occasionally stumble in here looking for stuffs to read. Enjoy now these photos that encapsulate the first days of our trip:. At one point during the cross...

Wichmann Stories: November 2009
http://wichmannstories.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. A trip to Haicang. I took this Monday off, making up for working last Thursday and Friday while those we know back in the States were stuffing themselves with Turkey. I've still got a lot of vacation time that I need to use up before the end of the year, and we also have a lot of errands that we need to complete before movers come to pack up our belongings and ship them to the back. Main errand was to head over to the mainland, the Haicang. The rest of the day I spend running a...

Saturday, January 29, 2011. Two weeks ago we had a three day weekend, so being in the cold Chicago weather we decided to make the most of it with a weekend trip to Key West, Florida. It's been a while since we've posted anything, and I'm not fully in the mood for typing a lot so we are just going to dump a ton of photos on here and maybe make a few comments - enjoy. A quick stop in Key Largo for lunch. End of US1 - Key West, Florida. First night in Key West - enjoying some nice wine. For desert, where ev...
