Sometimes, staying on Adventure Island is not under your control. On a bad day, log-in to Second Life has an unhappy surprise.
There might be a brief message about "region unavailable." But mostly there is a jumble of people, orange clouds, and you're in an unexpected location when everything stabilizes.
GET OUT IMMEDIATELY. Walk, do not run, immediately exit Firestorm by closing the Window. Later, when you have gone past the training-wheels stage, you'll have more alternatives. For now, JUST GET OUT.
Getting Back into Adventure Island
You now have a new location remembered by Firestorm and Second Life as "Last location." You don't want to go there again. Instead, here's how to get back to Adventure Island assuming you haven't overstayed your welcome. (Click on the images to see them larger).
On the Firestorm login screen, in the field that shows "Last Location," use the little pull-down arrowhead to see other options. Select "<Type region name>." (You don't have a "Home" yet.)
In the now-available entry field, type "Adventure Island" and click Enter.
If you entered that correctly, Firestorm completes that name with some numbers beginning "/128/..." These are coordinates. It confirms that you've requested a known region. Click "Log in."
Sometimes, there's still a problem. Even that's good news.
This means Adventure Island is still unavailable. Wait until later. Try again. Rinse repeat.
Eventually, you should return to the starting location in Adventure Island.
... and you can resume your explorations. You won't return to your last position, so you'll have to run through the areas and topics already covered. Then continue.
