Packing up and heading out…..

It is once again time for Ray and I to head out on yet another adventure.  Two years ago we did the cross Canada trek going all the way to Newfoundland and heading back through the good old United States of America. This year we will only be going as far as Guelph Ontario, where we will spend some time visiting with family along the way.  We will cross into the US of A most likely in Niagara Falls, where we will sight see our way west.  We do have a "plan" in our heads, but as we like to "fly by the seat of our pants" and see where our GPS will take us,  I won't spoil the fun.  I am busy getting the "office" space in the truck ready which will have my trusty 10 pound oath America camping guide, GPS, maps (because everyone knows that we cannot rely totally on GPS) and of course the ever faithful laptop. We are busy also loading the 5th wheel.  How many pairs of shoes will I need to take for this trip……that is the question!

You may be wondering about the name of this blog…. Ray and Lori's Accidental Shenanigans?  Where would we get that name from?  Does it really make any sense at all?  Well I had been trying to think of a different name with a bit of a catch that we could call this second big adventure of ours.  I couldn't think of anything at all.  My retired mind was at a stale mate.  Having coffee one morning with Debbie Parry at my favourite haunt (Starbucks), I mentioned that I was having trouble thinking of something.  Debbie came up with "Shenanigans"  One of the meanings of shenanigans is "high-spirited or mischievous activities"and anyone who followed our last trip could possibly say that we did have a few mischievous events, most of those involved Ray of course.  It is never about me!!  Ray came up with the "Accidental" portion of the title and of course one meaning of this is "occurring unexpectedly or by chance".  Now can you see why I chose this title?

So follow along with us as we travel and see what kind of crazy shenanigans we find ourselves in.  I will try to once again, make this blog a entertaining and for those who followed our last "Bogus Adventure";  Ray has promised me there will be not  be any "gas" related stories.  Time will tell!!!    
So stay tuned!
