Visit here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/LEA14/209/78/28

 Last chance to visit LEA14 Wish You Were Here. The sim is coming down Thursday evening June 30.  If you visit be sure to go into the airport welcome center and use the many teleport doors to various areas as it beats walking /flying around and takes you to the main specific locations.  Inside the big airplanes is RL photography by SL residents from around the world, some from persons I'm sure you will recognize. The fantasy skybox has two levels the lower level being a fun soundgarden. Lots to see and play on throughout the sim. It's based on making RL/SL connections with people from around the world and learning from each other more about both worlds we live in.  Thanks for everyone whose visited, blogged, took pics, came to events, contributed pictures, and hung out playing games and having fun. It's been fun. HUGE thanks to LEA for this opportunity. I'm looking forward to the next round of builds. (see below)

Be sure to visit this sim I've put together before it has to be packed up the end of the month.  The idea follows Mitch and Amy, travelers who meet in an airport, hit it off and decide to send each other postcards of their travels.  Later they each are back home and want to continue a relationship so enter Second Life where they continue to explore places from around the world and finally also visit not possible in RL fantasy areas all while growing in their relationship and knowledge of worldwide places. 

The sim also has real life art /photographs from around the world by Second Life residents in postcard format with a little info about the location and the contributors name.  You might recognize pictures from some of your friends or see places near where you live.  The photography is located inside the large airplane galleries. You may also visits vignettes representative of places around the world to hang out and engage in activities, poses, games, etc with old friends or meet some new ones.  There are several sky locations including the not possible in real life fantasy area that is 2 level including a sound garden in the lower level.  Inside the airport you will find more information and direct teleport doors for ease of movement around the sim and sky.  Special thanks to:
Ryde Thor, Greg Parker, Sonicity Fitzroy, Josie Anderton, Igor Ballyhoo, JayT Foxtrot, Dido Haas, Mimi Juneau, Alles Klaar, Collin Martin, Avi Meridoc, Agatha Nowles, Frenchie25 Resident, Johannes1997 Resident, Sonrisa Seminario, Cinn Sommers, Gabrielle Swindelhurst, Toysoldier Thor, Burly Tigerpaw, and Valiant Westland.

Also while in the sim besides the many poses and things to do and play on, there are smaller postcards located in various places throughout the sim of some of my other fav SL sims with direct LMs to click and take for further SL exploring. There are many games like greedy, bowling, cards against humanity etc in the upper level of the airport for anyone to enjoy, lovely hangout areas in the woods with tv and lounging and camping, helicopter and hot air rides, a mile high club with certification giver etc. all for free for all to enjoy.  Be sure to stop by and enjoy before this sim changes out next month. 

Also special thanks to those of you have been blogging it and taking pictures there too! (there is a Flickr group for LEA14 Wish You Were Here)  Be sure to keep your eyes open for more events before the sim closes and thanks for visiting!

Welcome to LEA14 “Wish You Were Here”
"Wish You Were Here" is an airport setting with large airplane galleries that have first life picture postcards inside from around the world by SL residents and smaller Second Life picture postcards from around the grid that give landmarks when touched.  The sim is surrounded by vignettes representing various worldwide landscape types for visiting and for photography and machinima that can be shared on the Flickr group if desired. The idea is about learning more about both worlds  we enjoy and meeting new friends from around the world.   The sim story line follows Mitch and Krystal who meet in an airport, exchange information, then send each other educational postcards about their travels as they venture on their separate journeys.  They continue to learn about each other and the world and eventually meet up again in Second Life where they explore SL sims that are similar to RL and also find extra things SL has to offer such as the  “not possible in real life” sims to explore together.  Perhaps you will see pictures from some of your SL friends in the exhibit or even of your own SL sim.  Some other funs things to see and do in LEA14 include: contribute your own RL pictures if desired, kayak, hot air balloon, several games, zip line, fly up to the not possible in real life two level fantasy area for exploring, dancing, and enjoying the lower level sound garden, join the mile high club, parachute, dance in the airport party room and around the sim, and much more.  Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy your stay,   Kara Trapdoor
