Suriname

It’s never too early to start dreaming about next year’s Caribbean travel adventures, right?
Toward the end of last year, we made a case to put Dominica and Guyana at the top of our 2011 travel wish list. Unfortunately, Guyana will have to wait a bit longer, but our Dominica dreams are on-track to come true in November.
So, what other uncommon destination are we targeting for 2012? How about Suriname?
If you’ve never heard of it, don’t feel bad. Suriname is one country that is decidedly off-the-beaten-path in just about every way imaginable.
Like Guyana, Suriname is physically part of South America, though decidedly West Indian in terms of its culture, heritage, history, cuisine, music, etc.
