My Retreats In SL

Over the past 10 months or so, Jyllie has been able to acquire an approximately 8,000 square meter plot of land at Beachcomber Isle, the first place she landed when she began SL in 2007. Argos Hawks owns the Beachcomber sim and has been a wonderful and kind host even though he is always busy with builds, grid physics experiments and just plain taking care of business. Most of the sim is composed of casinos and, as the name implies, is beach-themed. On Beachcomber, you will find Coyote Ranch, Legatos Grotto and Magic Tree Games, and my favourite place Sand Dollars Beach Resort on the opposite corner from my land, Templador Estate. These are some photos from around Templador, feel free to stop by and relax with your SLove or just chill and watch TV. Do /1 show to reveal all possible dances and cuddles in the immediate area and enjoy :)

Also, if you do like the areas I've created in an attempt to bring Mother Nature back to SL in a drama-free zone, please do tip the bunny on the beach. My tier is wicked high on this private sim and I've put a lot of work into it for you to have a relaxing place to enjoy.

The Chill Room (features seating for 6 for brainstorming or chatting, an interactive Japanese wish stone to make all your wishes come true, and two seats for watching the currently streaming Indy Movie Channel). SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beachcomber%20Isle/179/31/3002

Sky Sands (I couldn't think of a better name lol but new suggestions are very welcome! This skybox features a large area out front for opening boxes and building if you are part of the group and the prims are free, and a quaint front porch to get out of the parching desert sun. Inside, you'll find two areas to lounge with friends amid richly textured decorations. Over the front curtain is Taliesin, an AI bot who will actually hold an intelligent conversation with you, and inside the back left corner is Loki, my older AI bot who has gained more of a sense of thought and conversation. You may have to "tickle" them to get them to speak [touch to activate if needed]. Venture into the back room for some privacy and kick back on the pedestal of cuddles. This spot with its breathtaking colors makes for a beautiful couples photo spot.) SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beachcomber%20Isle/199/22/2001



On beach level, you'll find an array of poses and activities from group-synchronized tai-chi or meditation in the pagoda or reading on the bridge in the Japanese garden, cuddling and enjoying the view in the treehouse (use the green teleporter at the base of the treehouse to enter), making out in the garden, paying homage to the gods at the altar, and dancing and cuddling on the beach in front of the house. There is also a place to picnic, a lovely gazebo with a panoramic view of the *gorgeous* sunrises on the island, and a tree swing for those young at heart :) The old Victorian house is also usually open. It's nothing special inside really, just our residence but check out the bathroom if you want to see a very strange toy *winks*. SLURL: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Beachcomber%20Isle/178/21/22
