Oona was looking for something to do one fine day and she was hoping for something different. She was tiered of dancing and wanted to get away. It just so happened that a good friend of Oona’s had bought a helicopter. He sent her a message asking if she wanted to go for a ride. Excellent! A new adventure, something Oona LOVES. So off she went to meet him at his new toy. It looked just like a two-seater in RL and she hopped in. Off they went up, up, up. Oona had not been this high in SL and was loving every minute. He asked if Oona wanted to try flying it and she replied with a strong NO THANK YOU! They continued flying about and began seeing homes and flying boats. What a beautiful place. Oona thought it might be fun to live in the sky. He just happened to be looking for a place to buy and keep his new helicopter. We landed on what Oona thought was someone’s home, but he seemed so confident that it was not, that she kept her mouth shut. It was a beautiful stone building with a nice roof to land on. It had an airplane on top and Celtic music playing. It was heaven. At that moment a lovely woman popped up to the roof and asked if she could help us. OH NO, I was right, it was someone’s home. Thank goodness she was very, very nice and helpful all at the same time. They chatted and she passed on some information about the homes and her landlord. Oona was still on cloud nine, latterly, and wanted more. He invited her on a hot air balloon ride. REALLY? You can go on a hot air balloon ride? Oona was ready for more adventures. They teleported to a remote island and there it was, a beautiful balloon. They sat down on the cushy chairs and up they went. The sun was setting and everything was glowing a bright orange red. Oona thought that this might be a nice ride with a romantic friend. She landmarked it for a later date. The balloon kept going up and down and closer to the land, then came a waterfall. Oh Oona sighed. She could hear birds chirping and the rushing water of the water cascading over the rocks. She hated to leave but it was time. She thanked her friend for such a wonderful trip. It was time to meet another friend that she had promised to go dancing with. He was very grateful to have shared such a fun adventure with Oona and hoped they could do it again soon. Oona said anytime and was off.

So for all you newbie’s and non-noobs alike, go out and take an adventure once in a while. Second life has so much to offer over and above the usual. Remember, SL is a place to do things you can’t always do in RL. ENJOY!
