From Smarter Travel: "It could all end one year from now on December 21, 2012. Or not. The prophecies and speculations about what might happen on the last day of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Maya calendar are, well, endless. For you planners and you naysayers, we've compiled a list of the top 10 destinations to witness the event (or nonevent). These cool bunkers, mystical sites, places with ironic names, and culturally significant locations are great spots to go out having the time of your life, even if the end of days is a no-show."

They have been kind enough to provide a listing of the best places to be and you residents of Mexico have an opportunity to take advantage of one:
"Playa Viva, Zihuatanejo, Mexico

Off the grid and self-sustainable: It's the end of the world as you know it, and you feel fine because you and 21 others are kicking back in beachy paradise at this completely sustainable boutique hotel between Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco. It could be a real-world Survivor situation, but at least you'll have an organic garden, a biodiesel vehicle, a fuel-producing facility, and—so long as the sun still shines—100 percent off-grid solar power and thermal solar hot water. Did we mention that the force (field) will be with you? This was once a Maya and Aztec community and is now an archeological site."

Remember folks, this event is only a year away!

Yea, I've told her she's worked all these many years to get to retirement and then, Damn...the world's going to end two weeks after she can retire? Such is life, I suppose.

Best to stay at the 6000 ft height in Chapala.

Apparently on Dec. 22/12 you will only be 30 minutes from the ocean........ flag waver

Only 5,200 ft. elevation here Bob. I wonder if that last 800 ft. will make difference?

Friend of mine just suggested that they just ran out of space on the rock.
Sounds good to me.

I believe it was only as far out as the Mayans could predict at the time. Up to the solstice of 2012. Nothing more, nothing less........

Of course the celestial alignment also takes place which is driving some of the "end of the world" theories. Apparently the gravitational pull is going to cause a massive continental shift. Hopefully Mexico doesn't end up where Canada currently is or we'll have to move south all over again....jaja.

A University professor told me the calender ends for the same reason our
calenders end at the end of the year. We don't think the world is going to
end because the modern calender ends at dec. He said the mayan calander
just ends because they chose to end it there. Some other evidence regarding
this but nobody agrees about it in the scholarly world. In Belize everybody
was reading about this when we stayed there a few years ago. Many many
people believed it on Caye Caulker an Island off the coast of Belize. I found
it all a little bit sad. The science/history is very weak for the end of the world
next year. Hope I am not surprised :-) :-)

The Maya calender spans over 5000 some years after the era ends they believe the word as we know it changes...no kidding lots of changes in 5000 years! The Mayas do not believe in a worl ending but in a world changing..
I love their representation of the God of time, an old man carrying a heavy burden..
We will be in Maya country for that end of the calender and are plannning to celebrate it along with everyone around, just like people did in 2000, just another excuse for a party.
There are a lot of events planned in Chiapas and rooms are already booking up. It should be good for tourism in Southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras.
The Mayas count in units of 20 and it is hell learning numbers if you are not good at math, cannot imagine saying that last year in Maya....

Zedinmexico,
You're right about the calendar ending and not the world itself. But its fun wondering...what if.

I hope you are correct Brigitte that the world will not end but will change instead. We need major changes in the world for survival I think. You guys will be at ground zero when the calendar changes over.

...just as long as the change isn't the reversing of the poles. Hmmmm. Now THAT would be climate change we could all agree about. Those left, that is. Shocked
