For some of you, it is saying goodbye to snow or hello to snow and the weather that comes with it. Some of you will be saying, “OMG, No more snow!

Lately, I’m exploring the creations of Terry Fotherington (on Facebook), aka Dandy Warhol (on Flickr). In the coming months, I intend to know other landscapers and visit (where possible) their creations inworld." Read more on the blog.

"Can you fall in love with a destination? If it is possible, I think I have fallen in love. It was love at first sight, of those who take you suddenly and to which you can’t give a logical explanation. Maybe, I say maybe, Ghosts of Jericho touches some of the strings of the soul. Who knows." Read more on the blog.

"Frogmore covers the region of the same name and is home to 30k prims. However, Terry has managed to decorate it, leaving about 9k prims free. This helps to reduce lag, and in fact, I was able to take several pictures using Firestorm’s ultra mode without any problems." Read more on the blog.

"Imagine living in a five star hotel, and having constant access to the bars, restaurant, spa and pool.  You might not want to do it all the time, but for a month or two it would be pretty great. Unfortunately in RL, extended luxury hotel stays are the preserve of film stars and business tycoons, but out of the reach of us mere mortals.  Not so in Second Life however, where it’s not only possible, but often cheaper than renting a house or skybox." Read more on the blog.

"Just as I thought I’d soon run out of hotels and resorts to review, news has come out about three projects on the horizon, all of which I am looking forward to seeing, given who is behind  each one." Read more on the blog.

"There are three brand new places that have just opened, that are exceptionally good. Each on its own would ordinarily have become one my favourite Second Life Hotels.  But as they all opened up in quick succession of each other, I am going to do a round-up of all three together. Whether you stay at one or all of these places, I recommend each one highly" Read more on the blog.

"The Overlook at Cha isn't so much a hotel of the kind that I normally visit, but more of a hotel themed experience. As a result, this isn't a normal review (it wouldn't be fair, as you are not comparing like with like), but a mini-article introducing the concept to you, and of course providing the SLURL for you to visit." Read more on the blog.

"With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, I wanted to preview a brand new hotel, resort and events space that’s due to open on February 12th - The Ishtar Hotel." Read more on the blog.

"This is the recreation of a RL place, not Florence, Italy of course, but instead of the tidal salt marshes of Salin d’Aigues-Mortes in France. Despite being free, the hotel is better designed and kitted out than many paid for places I've seen, and the destination itself makes for an excellent date and / or photo spot." Read more on the blog.

"Hotel bars make for good date locations.  You’ve got great cocktails and drinks,  high end surroundings, a hint of luxury and decadence and excellent service." Read more on the blog.

"The SS Galaxy is a three sim, 32,000 prim cruise ship and floating hotel.  Or at least it was until May 2015, when you were able to book suites and rooms." Read more on the blog.

"Both my life and work revolves around travel - air travel specifically.  So when the pandemic really hit in March, my life like that of so many other people was turned upside down. Two personal trips I had planned for that month went out the window.  And two thirds of my income vanished in a puff of smoke.  From a mental health point of view, it hit me hard."

"Over the past few weeks, Aria and myself have been trying out different Second Life restaurants. Based on our experiences, here are six of our favourites." Read more on the blog.

"Taking your significant other to New York or the Maldives for Valentine’s Day would most likely cost you thousands of dollars or euros.  And thanks to the pandemic it’s also not even an option for most of us.

Not so in Second Life, which has a great selection of hotels and resorts complete with five star service, luxury suites, amazing swimming pools, high end restaurants and pristine beaches.  And all that for less than the price of latte and sandwich from your local coffee shop,

As a result, here’s my pick for Valentine’s Day hotels.  These will of course also work for any other romantic break you might have planned throughout the year."
