Will December 21, 2012 the end of the world as
we know it? Not likely. But, even if there's a remote chance that the ancient
Mayans knew something we don't, you should visit one or more of the hottest
vacation rental destinations for 2012.
Belize
Belize is hosting events near the date of the
possible apocalypse. The big event will be at the ruins of Xunantunich on
December 21. The celebration includes a concert, light show, fire ceremony and
more.
New Zealand
The Hobbit films are set for release in
December, and fans of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy are booking
vacations to leading up to and coinciding with the event. The books are set in
a mythical land, but the film's director, Peter Jackson, chose New Zealand as
the setting because of its otherworldly beauty. Experience it for yourself to
the fullest by staying in a New Zealand vacation rental.
Portugal
Portugal's struggling economy means you'll find
value, not to mention Portugal vacation rental owners, shopkeepers, vendors and tour operators who'll be truly
grateful for your visit. Try staying near Lisbon, or the southern coastal area
of Algarve, where you'll find the energetic city of Lagos, historical
locations, and enjoy great golf and many other outdoor activities.
