Although we took the standard method and asked a neighbour to keep a watchful eye on the premises, it obviously wasn't enough protec- tion. A friend suggested we install a security system. At the moment, though, we simply can- not afford it. I would hate to can- cel our annual camping excursion for fear of being robbed again. Can you offer any suggestions? Sixty-six percent of all burglaries are home bur- glaries, and most occur while the homeowners are on vacation. A computerized security system backed by a central station is a sound investment and can offer adequate protection. A staff is always at hand to watch your home around the clock for such emergencies as break-ins, floods, and power loss. Seeing that most homeowners, like yourselves, do not have a security system, here are some tips for — property, espe- juring the winter vacation ie * Don't broadcast your vacation plans.

Walker family sets off on world wide adventure By Wendy Long A Georgetown family is doing what most people only fantasize about: a six month travelling bonanza across the world to various global destinations. Chris and Judith Walker are sec- ondary school teachers who have been dreaming of this trip for seven years. They chose to wait until their two daughters would be old enough to appreciate the adventure. Now, Amy, 15, and Sarah, 14, are more than ready to leave. But the high school students still have to wait a little while, the Walkers depart in December. “We're still planning,” said Judith. “We thought it would be a really good experience. It’s an edu- cation in itself.” The Walkers have an itinerary that is based on an open ticket framework, as long as they keep travelling in the same direction. The air tickets alone cost almost $15,000. They will depart Canada for New Zealand, followed by Australia, and then on to Asia and Thailand, cen- tral Europe, England, and back to Canada for June. In Europe, they will hop coun- tries by train. The Walkers plan to experience Greece, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Austria and France, peiaoor on how they feel as they explor “we had a democratic vote on explained Judith. The Walker family will embark on a six month jaunt across the globe in mid-December.

The Walker family is excited about their journey but admit that it’s “kind of a daunting proposi- tion. Until they depart, they must wrestle with what to take, how much, and who can carry what. They’ve decided on backpacks, one each. Anything they buy while trav- elling must be carried with them or shipped back home. The Walkers are looking for dif- ferent lifestyles on their travels, for different people and landscapes. They will do lots of outdoor things. “We're not terribly oriented towards big cities,” Judith said. “We're looking for Georgetowns and Ballinafads of the world.” “Although of course we'll go to London and Paris,” and the other big tourist cities, clarified Chris. They plan to stay in hostels and scout out self-catering facilities. “The idea of eating out for six months is appalling,” added Judith emphatically. In particular, Amy can’t wait to get to New Zealand, Sarah’s wait- ing for Greece, Chris thinks he’ ll particularly enjoy New Zealand and Australia (he’s planning to drag his family on a 64 hour train ride to go see Ayers Rock) while Judith just wants “a life without schedules.” For the Walker family, the trip promises to be the experience of a lifetime.
