I have been receiving updates of Alexanders travels and thought I'd share them with you

Hello All,
I am sorry it has been a few days since our last update!
It is such an exciting time for Alexander! You would not believe it! Thursday was great, between dancing with Ellen amd thoroughly enjoying her show; And then the Burbank Ferrari Club came with Police escort and all! Alexander has hi sown personal car show at the hotel! they gave him a Ferrari bag FULL of gifts. He was so happy! He had that smile he gets that we all know and love! The smile ha snot left his face at all.
Things are just getting better and better!
On Friday we arrived in Phoenix-Scottsdale and went to the Barrett Jackson Showroom. Alexander then was invited to Craig Jackson's house to see his personal collection of cars! It was awesome! He again received some wonderful gifts! Even a shirt for Dad! He also told Craig that his Dad says HI!. It was really cute!
The Hotel is here is beautiful! Many thanks to Jim!
Saturday we sort of had a rest day; Big Guy was looking a little tired. We did go Walmarting though! In the afternoon the Scottsdale Ferrari Club came to the hotel. What a great group of people! I am not the best of `whats what' when it comes to cars but these are beautiful. Alexander was once again thrilled to see them and meet some new found friends!
Today we off to the Zoo for this morning, then the Scottsdale Ferrari Dealership! Then later we are going to walk around Old Town Scottsdale. It is really nice, definitely a place I am coming back to!
Anyway this is where we are on the road trip! I will try to update tomorrow!
Love to you all!
Susie

Hello Everyone,
On Sunday we had yet another special surprise! Aunties Lisa and Maria showed up to pick up this leg of the trip. Alexander was shocked to see them. Needless to say he is very happy they have joined us on his adventure! We had just gotten back from the Phoenix Zoo when they arrived.
Our plan for the Grand Canyon was a bit of a glitch. We had to try and figure out the safest way to see the Grand Canyon. I never thought of the elevation being a problem; but it definitely is! Alexander was very determined to see the Grand Canyon; so we took a gamble and went in to the South Rim it is 6,000 feet just by Williams. It was still a bit hard for his respiratory but he says it was totally worth it. Of course I was as usual the worried wreck! He had me very concerned but the little trooper man pulled ot off. It is one of the most spectacular sights we have ever seen. It's to bad we couldn't have done the whole thing but as it was it took a lot out of him!
Today we are driving through the Hoover Dam and heading for Las Vegas. Alexander is pretty tired and he knows he has to rest the rest of the day when we arrive there.
The next few days are going to be very busy and of coarse our new found Friends of the Ferrari world have invited Alexander to see some more beautiful cars! He is absolutely loving this and when he is looking at them you can just see him driving each one in his mind! I am so grateful of what all these wonderful people have, and what they are doing for him!
Unfortunately Auntie Bridget has to head back to Vancouver today; It has been great having her share this part of his trip. She has been a great help. We really appreciate her!
Love to all!
Susie

Thanks again.
I am hoping to see Alexander on their return through LA

Steve
