Real life "Day After Tomorrow"

Soooo apparently I've been living under a rock and didn't know anything about this apocalypse thats supposed to happen on December 21 2012! It would be my Dads 44th Birthday! So expect tsunamis and earthquakes from coast to coast and ocean to ocean. This frenzy, whether it's real or just a hoax, makes me start to want living more. I really want to travel. My friends and I are planning a trip to Boston. I mean were all 17 so technically were not legally supposed to drive out of state or drive with more than one person in the car, but we tend to break the rules anyway. Were also planning to hop on a plane this summer and go to California but I don't want to get ahead of myself.
