Blue Note Retro Jazz Lounge

Blue Note Retro Jazz Lounge The Blue Note Retro Jazz Lounge recently celebrate seven years of providing quality Jazz tunes this past summer. As a popular landmark in Second Life, it’s a great place for all of you Retro Jazz fans. There’s several events held during the week, but make sure you check the dress code. Most can be seen in formal wear which keeps up with the theme of the venue, but casual wear is accepted. Please do keep in mind, you’re not headed out to the booty shaker festival and cover it up.

If you’re like me, I tend to move around a lot on Second Life. I quickly get bored with my home surroundings. This is crazy since I have the freedom to travel to any place I choose. Just like in the real world, the rent on SL is becoming outrageous. This can be very discouraging if you’re a fan of nice surroundings with some activity but you still want privacy of your own. You may want to visit High Life Rentals. They feature multiscene holodecks which include everything from lavish furnished homes to a go kart racetrack. Prim counts and privacy level vary and so does the level of media control.

The exclusive units which include 60 plus scenes are under 700L. Don’t believe me. Test out a demo before you purchase. It’s a great deal for those ballers on a budget.

This venue is classy, and fun. Most appealing were the dance moves that seem to be a perfect fit to the tunes currently being played. You can do your own thing but the synchronized steps of everyone doing the Charleston are to die for.

The Blue Note Romance Park can be a romantic spot to take a breather from your dancing, or simply a quiet spot to visit overall with that someone special. I’ve heard the winter scene there is awesome. What are you waiting for? Join their group to stay updated on their events and happenings!

The Azure Elegance Hotel & Resort

If you’re looking for the ultimate getaway, The Azure Hotel & Resort is a lavish hotel worth putting your lindens toward. I recently stayed there on vacation with one of my friends, and I’m sure to return. Located in Naught Desires, the hotel doesn’t leave you desiring much with its one stop choice for pampering yourself or loved one.

Azure is centered in the heart of a quiet community that seems to be growing. It’s also great for a family vacation with a playground nearby for your tots. You can stroll the boardwalk and visit the shops. You can also sunbathe on the golden sands of the beach, with a great view of a volcano. Why not take a swim in the majestic blue ocean. There’s also scuba diving, surfing and fishing at a lake close by for those of you who are into water sports.

You are wowed as soon as you reach the entrance to the hotel. The name says it all. You are captured in the ambiance of elegance with the luxury vehicles lined up at the valet out front. The gold fixtures give it a beautiful glow at sunset and the breeze along with the smell of the ocean and scenery remind you of a tropical paradise.

You may even catch a glimpse of a celebrity or two. Many of the elite of SL could be seen passing through for a tour or enjoying the amenities. The reception area displays the many packages available, along with a welcoming and friendly staff ready to service you. Did I mention excellent role play? The staff is definitely on point and looks great in uniform.

Need a car for your stay? There are rentals available and we’re not talking lemons. Luxury vehicles are at your disposal. The Presidential Suite is spacious, and modernly decorated with a beautiful view. There’s even room service and fine dining at their restaurant, with a full menu available. The Olympic size pool has crystal clear water with lounge seating and champagne. A spa area across from the pool can help you unwind after a day of fun in the sun. Enjoy the nightlife at the bowling alley, arcade and skate park down the street. This place has everything.

For the professionals out there, if you’re looking for a space to hold your next event or conference, there is a conference room available with stadium seating. The big screen projector can give easy viewing for your presentations or a showing of a movie for those exclusive premiers. Other packages such as wedding, anniversary, Rezzday and even baby showers are available.

I can be hard to please at times, but as you can see, I definitely enjoyed my stay at the Azure Elegance Hotel and Resort and can’t wait to book my next vacation.

Family Time: A trip to the Oasis Zoo Are you planning an outing with the family but not sure where to go? Why not go to the zoo? A recent trip to the Oasis Zoo proved to be a great spontaneous idea. They recently had their Grand Re-opening for the public. I must say, the welcome center could stand to have a map because the place is huge. Since none were available, we decided to set our own path. This zoo is a great way to educate yourself on animals and see how they interact with one another. The children’s play center near the entrance, is an added plus for those moms and dads who want a break after touring the zoo because you’re going to need it.

There is a wide selections of animals available to see, and even some common farm animals. Make sure you milk the cow. She likes that... The elephant section features a baby with their mom and dad, and the scene does make you go awww. You’ll find other animals as well in a family setting. Many of them are located in scenes that reflect their natural environment, with great photo opportunities for those family memories. A picnic area is available for barbecuing ,but you must visit the food court for some of their tasty ice cream. Along the way, you will find several other treats such as free balloons, popcorn and cotton candy available. If you’re not a fan of walking or have those little ones that you can’t seem to keep up with. There are carts available to tour the zoo by car. It’s located in the back of the zoo instead of the entrance and honestly if you’re going to walk that far back, you should just tour it by foot. It really is better that way. Kudos to Oasis Zoo for a great family location. Don’t forget to tip the Panda on your way out.
