Internet Itinerary: The Cool Hunter

Chocolate generally quells our wandering cravings, but every once in a while, IT needs something more. On days of such lust, we turn to the Internet and find ourselves scrolling through post after post of eye candy in the travel section of the Cool Hunter. True to its name, the site aggregates everything that's "cool" in the world of urban living, fashion, travel, design, and technology; there's some text, but it's the pictures that beguile. Scanning through the big, colorful photos of swank hotels in London, aerial views of Maldivian resorts, spas in Switzerland, and other outrageously trendy spots, we find ourselves a bit appalled that places like these actually exist—and then start dreaming up ways to visit them. (At the moment, we're concocting a scheme to sleep in this Gehry-designed hotel in Alava, Spain). IT bemoans the fact the travel section is rarely updated. Not that that keeps us from looking at the same pictures over and over again. We're addicted.
