My+Journal

Thus far I have managed to figure out how to move around the Islands by driving, flying, and walking. Upon chatting with several people I figured out how to escape from the boundaries of Help Island and venture out into the rest of the grid. One of the first places that I visited was Freebie Island. Here I was given some free lamps and other items that I quickly added to my meager inventory.

One of the next places that I visited was Mercedes Benz Island. I was informed of this place by my fellow group member Kentucky Capalini. Here I learned some information about the history of the Mercedes. Also, I was able to test drive the cars around the track that Mercedes had out in the backyard. So far Second Life has opened my eyes to how incredible this virtual reality world can be. I have not had any run-ins with any sketchy people, also known as griefers. I managed to figure out how to help send invites to people to teleport them to my current location. I found this very helpful and time saving. Below is a picture that I took to show that I am not lying but indeed manage to make it to Mercedes Benz Island.

The next place that I visited was the replica of the NY Yankees Stadium. I found this simply by searching for stadiums and it was the first on the list. Her I just flew around the stadium and looked at the features. I was surprised to see a few other people there and they were very hospitable. They were Yankees fans and they even offered me to fly with them to another location. I sat down in the Co-pilot seat and we took off. I was unaware that I could not stand up so once I did, I feel from the plane into the ocean. They waited for me and rescued me. We flew back to the stadium where I took a picture of the score board and surprisingly I noticed that that there was not a score on the board even with the opponent being the Red Sox. I made some new friends and I am eagerly waiting to resume touring SL.
