I'm going to French Guiana!

I can't believe it.

I will be flying Air France's once-weekly Island Hopper. From Miami, it stops in Guadeloupe, Martinique, and finally, Cayenne. Port-au-Prince used to be a stop, but Air France no longer serves Haiti.

The plan is to stay at a colonial era hotel in Cayenne and go on day trips.

The itinerary:

• Minibus or shared taxi to Suriname border
• Minibus or shared taxi to Brazil border
• Visit Cacao in the jungle; it's a Hmong village full of former refugees
• Space center tour; I just got a ticket for a three-hour tour
• Devil's Island
