As you're laying out your far-flung wanderings for the New Year, you might want to consider a few spots that weren't open when 2008 drew to a close. Wendmag just outlined four of the most inviting newly opened countries, most notably Lebanon, which was undergoing some pretty serious military action this time last year. We'd add one more to their list: Sri Lanka. The Tamil unrest there has quieted down enough that adventurers can check out the more remote regions without too much danger. As for the places that are still too hot for outsiders...there's always 2011?
