The Goring

The Goring Hotel in London, England celebrated it's 100th Anniversary last year. Now, many businesses can claim the same, but can they also say that they have been in the same family for all of that time? The Goring was first brought to my attention when it made The Blue Fish's Best of the Best List and I've been salivating over it ever since. From the little woolen sheep in each beautiful guest room, to the historic building, to the exquisite gardens the whole place has me all excited. It is divine, and I cannot wait until I'm in London to check it out for myself.

Winter Park Colorado ... not really a lust, since we already went :) 

Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA ... where I just got into Graduate School.

Napa Valley, California

San Francisco, CA ... this lust list entry is all about visiting my Grandparents, but who wouldn't mind visiting all the beautiful places they live near?

Florida. I don't even know where specifically, but it is warm and beautiful and I'd be willing to trade :)

Cherokee Iowa Mental Health Hospital :)

Speaking of lust ... how about Egypt? Now that their political issues are under control, I really, really want to go here!

The mountains of Ireland are calling my name.
