As someone born and bred in the big city who in RL currently lives in the ‘burbs, I’ve always wanted to live in the woodlands and/or on the ocean. I’ve had a home (or should I say “homes” since I move a lot lol) in the woodlands here in SL for years; but I’ve still longed for the ocean and the ability to go boating on open water. When my premium membership just renewed, I realized that I had a 512 allotment of free tier that I wasn’t taking advantage of (I have a Linden home for a family member that uses the other 512) and I decided to do something about it. Bottom line, if you’re willing to put in the time and effort — and I’m talking HOURS of time, going through listings and teleporting around and checking out listings — it’s possible to find some really good deals out there for not a ton of lindens. So as a special gift to myself for taking a job in real life, I spent the equivalent of what I felt was a very reasonable $8 to get a teeny spot in the ocean with only 175 prims but absolutely NO ADDED TIER. Frankly, I could have done even better… the lot next to mine was 500L less but no objects (mine included all objects, which supposedly included a boat but it didn’t transfer ownership)… I returned or tossed everything, but having never done this before, I found them a useful guide for building an island with space for a boat. To me, that was worth $2!!! I just found the entire thing totally irresistible!!! Sun, sand, & sea WITH NO ADDED TIER? A no-brainer. I spent part of the weekend setting up, and I’m all settled in to my little hideaway… though I’ll admit to lusting after that little piece of ocean next to mine and what that extra space and extra prims would mean to an addictive landscaper/decorator like myself. Next on the list is Boat Shopping, so don’t be surprised when you start seeing blogs with lots of boat shots!!!! Now to rest, relax, and enjoy my little stretch of sand!!!! 😉
