Just south of Trinidad on the northeast coast of South America lies Venezuals, Guyana Surinam, French Guiana, and Brazil.

The second country in Plan B is Suriname._/)Dutch is the official language but English is widely spoken (hopefully). The US Ambassador if Dennis K. Hays (597) 472900 fax: (597) 420800. Ports are in Albina, Moengo, New Nickerie, Paramaribo, Paranam and Wageningen..._/)...

Third is French Guiana (AKA Guyane). This is considered a part of France, not a separate country, and guess what language is spoken. It is located only 4 degrees above the equator and has ports in Cayenne, Degrad de Cannes and Saint-Laurent du Maroni.
