Not by itself but I believe she had a Feat or wondrous item that enabled if (this was back in 3.5 when they also had spells... THE SPELLS! ;_;)

No, not seriously. But if you are looking for something different (and entirely less fun), I'd be more than happy to set you up with a boring-ass 'vacation' in beautiful East Central Illinois for only $20,000! There will be nothing much to do, nowhere good to eat, and not much to see except the corn and soybean fields. But, I guarantee the money will be put to good use. Well, some of the money might not be put to good use, but I don't think anyone would be surprised by that.
I can set you up with great vacations here in Poland for $15,000 plus plane tickets...
With real castles, actual dragon cave, visit to a witches mountain, and savage tribes all around...

And he might get as much attention as me if he got rid of some of his clothes from time to time, I guess.
Nobodyshome in chef pants... Or without them...
The choices...

Pants. Not a difficult decision.

Here's one of "those things that baffle NobodysHome (of which there are plenty)":
So how is it possible that NONE of the kids who come over for the Wednesday night game can possibly figure out where to throw things?

They don't say what they are on the side.
And how big is a bin. We're given wheeled carts, one for recycling, one for trash.
Mine are covered with hieroglyphics that I'm sure trained archaeologists could use to determine what to place in each bin.
And they're 32-gallon rolling trash cans. "Bin" is shorter.

Me too?
You know, so I can:
1. Discover that everyone I was ever related to has been dead for decades,
2. Search for the location of my great-grandparents' farm, only to find that it was bulldozed long ago to become the parking lot for a particularly ugly office building,
3. Get made fun of by everyone I meet because all I can say in Polish are menu items, Christmas carols, and "kiss my ass", and
4. Spend the entire trip searching for the perfect bowl of czarnina soup, the one food I long for the most from my childhood, and never get it. Oh, and then
5. Try to go to Jasna Gora and not get let in because I'm not Catholic any more.
This is why I never bother to go on vacation.

So this morning my son fell down in the school garden, swinging on a vine from the grape arbor, and got a huge gash across his left eyebrow. While I was cuddling him and holding the compress on it, to make him feel better, I said, "Well, at least now you will have a really cool scar."
His face brightened up and he said, "You mean just like Harry?!?"
"No, not that cool; more like Aquaman."
This was alright by him.
But I am still not allowed to call him "Scarhead", which is annoying.

As long as those are not the same $15,000 as NobodysHome's $15,000...

2. Search for the location of my great-grandparents' farm, only to find that it was bulldozed long ago to become the parking lot for a particularly ugly office building,
The eastern Poland is less developed so it might be just a rotting ruin. Or it could be bulldozed long ago to build a misplaced ugly factory that is long abandoned by now. Office building is less likely.
3. Get made fun of by everyone I meet because all I can say in Polish are menu items, Christmas carols, and "kiss my ass"
Not more than any other foreign visitor...
4. Spend the entire trip searching for the perfect bowl of czarnina soup, the one food I long for the most from my childhood, and never get it.
You might actually find it, no promises it will taste like it tasted in your childhood, though. I am not sure if there are restaurants serving it or not.
5. Try to go to Jasna Gora and not get let in because I'm not Catholic any more.
I don't know if being Catholic is actually required to be let in, or if they verify in any way if the visitors are Catholic.

Oh, and in all seriousness, aside of plane tickets, you could visit Poland for much less than $15,000 easily...
In fact you could get a place in hostel room at $10 per night, and spend another $10 daily per person (though of course you can get better hotel room and more expensive food, $10 for food is already assuming eating out, though). Get a city public transportation ticket for a week for $15 to travel around the city. Bus/train tickets between cities varies between $5 to $50. Visit to a museum or a castle might be between $5 and $40, though closer to the lower half of this spectrum for majority of attractions. The (rather expensive) Wieliczka Salt Mine costs ~$25 for a person, or $70 for a 4-people family.

Also, Warsaw, the capitol of Poland is much more expensive. Krakow is pricey but nowhere near the level of Warsaw. They don't have a real castle (though Royal Palace is miscalled Royal Castle) nor dragon cave.
Other cities aside of sea-side Gdansk (aka Danzig)-Gdynia-Sopot triple-city complex and maybe Szczecin are cheaper.

I was under the impression that 'Scarhead' was a cross between 'Jarhead' and 'Scarface'.
Incidentally, heads-up for Captain Yesterday 'Scar In A Jar' is rumoured to be the Next Big Thing in the novelty toy field after fidget spinners, so keep an eye out for them when you're next in work.

On the insurance front, it seems that the company switched providers a while back, and I simply fell through the cracks. Not a pleasant feeling.
That sucks!
Honestly, I'd start calling around to find out whether it's worth lawyering up. I know employment laws are pretty lax, but I'm pretty sure that dropping an employee's health insurance without informing him is illegal.
But of course I'm no lawyer.

And, I found out why I fell through the cracks. My employer sent me last year, in a plain envelope, a letter telling me that the providers were changing. For something this important, you'd think that they'd make the envelope stand out more. But no. *sigh* Not for the first time, I feel like I'm dealing with a bunch of oblivious "droids." Well, I now have a place to start from.

Okay, stupid question, but what is there in Gdansk other than the shipyards? All I know about the city is that it's the birthplace of the Solidarity movement.
I actually had a picture of Lech Walesa up in my room throughout high school. I was a serious fangirl.Until I actually got to meet him after 9/11 and got really angry because [redacted political rant].

Here's one of "those things that baffle NobodysHome (of which there are plenty)":
Albany, being next to Berkeley, has a very robust waste management system. We get 3 bins a week: One for green waste, one for recycling of all manner of things, and one for actual trash.
It is therefore no surprise at all when people visiting from other cities don't know where to discard stuff; there are just too many options. Honestly, I usually ask people to just leave stuff on the counter so I can sort it all out for them.
On the other hand, for all the kids who grew up in Albany, not only have they had the 3 bins their entire lives, but even the schools have education "programs" to teach them which bins to use. It's so bad that Impus Major brings all the garbage in his lunchbox home because the school doesn't have a green waste bin, and he doesn't want to put trash in the wrong container. So how is it possible that NONE of the kids who come over for the Wednesday night game can possibly figure out where to throw things?
Grumbles as he pulls aluminum foil out of the green waste bin...
This sounds fairly similar to what we have in Ann Arbor. Except no compostables bin if you live in apartments like we do. Only houses get those. Mostly because it's difficult to do compostable bins on a large scale. Eh, they'll figure it out eventually.
But I honestly don't ever have problems with people not knowing where to throw things away. Kids not bothering to throw things away, yes, but most people can figure out where the recycle bin, trash, and returnable bins are. It's just not that hard. I do often get asked whether something goes in the recycle bin though. Apparently not everyone has memorized the list of what's considered recyclable in our area . :PEdit: So basically what I'm taking away from this is that Ann Arbor is like California except no earthquakes and we get snow in the winter :)

That does suck. And yeah, I would definitely look into your legal options because that sounds seriously hinky. :/
At the very least read up on employment laws in your state. And good luck!

My father grew up in Ann Arbor, and declared the Bay Area "the best place on Earth", so I figure you have to be right: You love where you grow up, but there's always one thing that you can't stand that you want to change.
So he traded snow for earthquakes and he was happy.

I prefer the snow myself, although I do envy you the temperate summers. :)
