This is going to be one busy day in OpenSim. I'll have to skip the Discovery Grid farewell party, but I've never had close ties to that grid anyway.

I am reminded that I need to take some time out to create my #UtopiaSkye avatar, meet it, then transfer as much of my clothing, body parts and builds as possible over from my #DiscoveryGrid self. Once that's resolved someone at the former will work with me on getting my content out of a friend's salvaged inventory file.
Not complicated at all, merely time consuming.
Not thrilled with the prospect of having to re-purchase clothing from Kitely Market though.

#hypergrid memories of #DiscoveryGrid, which is closing after almost 9 years. Why is it closing? And what were the highlights?

After moving from grid to grid, the Breathe Resort has found a new home. I think it must have been on #DiscoveryGrid at some point. I remember it on #ZetaWorlds, but it was offline a lot back then. It eventually resurfaced attached to #OSgrid, but on a poor server with terrible lag. The landing point was on top of TT's Treasures, a place that can only be reached or left by teleporting which is inconvenient if you love to walk around sims or use vehicles.

A couple of days ago, it joined the #WolfTerritoriesGrid. It seems to have an all-new landing in the southwestern corner with lots of teleporters. If you're lucky and the previous user has brought it back, a '58 Chevrolet Impala Convertible standing nearby amongst other vehicles. The lag from OSgrid days is gone.

There is a road that leads around the whole 5x5 varsim along the edges. But the best way to travel around it is on the water or through the air. Pick one of the various boats or other floating objects, use one of the rezzers or rez your own boat in the rez area east of the landing and west of the central station.

I recommend you to visit Harmony Island in the middle which is really the easiest to reach by boating. The Big Blue Bargain Basement offers the whole set of Fest'Avi avatars as far as I could see plus a few extras by Cherry Manga. Also, there is the full set of 26 complete avatars from Klamotto. Even if you don't need them as a whole, their ingredients may be useful, some of which can only be find in these avatars.

Otherwise, the inner shores of the Breathe Resort are very nicely made beaches. They may lack swim rezzers (ask me if you need them), but it's easy to get into and out of the water. If you want to change into something dry afterwards, there might only be few hiding-places, but the whole sim has an Adult rating, so you might not even have to hide. Or need swimwear in the first place. After all, this is a warm subtropical place.

Last but not least, a good advice for the ladies: Wear flat shoes or flat sandals and leave your 6" stilettos at home. Most surfaces on this #sim are sand.
