"Please visit this magical place, if you can ... so many nooks and crannies, hidden hidey-places, cosy snuggle spots and secret little (and not so little) corners to discover and explore; the photos don't come anywhere close to the magical atmosphere you'll experience when you're actually there, so many awe moments..."

Rugged trails navigate lush forests on their way to tall waterfalls raging just a few feet from each other.

At night, the trails are illuminated by the soft glow of lightning bugs. And you can explore it all without ever leaving home. Why? Because Second Life recently sanctioned a segment of their Ellingson region as a virtual national forest." Read more on the blog.

We were surprised and delighted, then, when our friend Vlad Moon-Korobase offered us the use of the penthouse apartment suite at his sumptuous hotel, The Ritz, over Christmas. “You’ve both worked so hard for so long,” he told me. “You both deserve something back from SL for all you’ve put in.” Wow. Thank you so much, Vlad!"
