I just recieved this email from Susie and man there was some action in Portland and Seattle today. Take a look.

Hello Everyone,
Monday, Alexander had a good sleep for the second night. It feels better knowing that he just needed some extra rest. In the afternoon we took Alexander to see Papa's plaque and he was very happy to see that it was close to the lighthouse right at the beach, and with the boats close by. Auntie Bridget put a flower on his spot and took some pictures. I am glad that he got to come and see this, it was more important to him than I realized. A sentimental moment for us all.
After that we went to the end of the Pier (near the Boardwalk) and saw the sea lions; and Alexander saw his first Pelican! It was neat to see his excitement. He checked out a couple of stores and wondered around for a bit. All good in his world.
Tuesday we had to say goodbye to our family and friends. This is always a hard thing to do. We will miss you guys!
We headed west from Redding; Because Alexander really wanted to see the Redwood Forest. We figured "alright, by looking at the map it should only take a couple of hours to get across on highway 299 to the coast. Well almost 5 hours later and going through more national forest than you could imagine we made it. Not a good plan. Never the less, we got to Crescent City very late in the evening.
Wednesday. Okay, even though we drove a REALLY long tome to get to the coast. It was totally worth it. The dive was beautiful and Alexander enjoyed his drive. Again we drove a little longer than planned. Alexander was tired but he also liked the drive and was happy we did this.
Thursday. Once again what an incredible day!
We started off this morning meeting with Josh of the Portland Porsche Club, and crew. We met at Speed Sports, Erik Clover's place. Thank you so much for the visit! It was great to meet you guys. We saw some some more spectacular cars. Of course he got pictures with the guys and the cars. It was very nice for Alexander to have this opportunity to meet you.
Then we were off to Seattle to meet the Seattle Ferrari club at Bahama Breeze in South Seattle. The reception was awesome we got to meet even more friends of this exotic world! I do not think that you people realize just how great you all are!
After Alexander receiving some great gifts, R.B. even gave Alexander his hat that he wore while on duty in Iraq; He wrote a special message on it. It was very touching. and more pictures with the cars and owners and new friends. We were escorted (with thanks to the police department) and all of the cars on I-5 through Seattle . It was awesome; the cars once again all around us and taking turns coming along side the "Vanarri" so Alexander could see and hear the engines roar. It was quite a thrilling experience once again. We ended at the Red Devil Raceway. A place were they run slot cars. It is neat. They devised a controller for Alexander to run a car on the little track and he did 100 + laps. Gerry the owner of The Red Devil Raceway gave Alexander a race set to take home.They also have set June 27th as a race day in Alexanders honor, it is so nice and if we can we will be back for this. Jason a cartoonists did charactures of us all.
Alexander is having one great trip. He is starting to miss his Dad and we all wish that he could have come with us. Unfortunately it has happened at his busiest time for work and he could not get away. I do not know what we are going to do to entertain Alexander when we get back home.? This has been the best experience he has ever had!
All the people who have just come out of no where and made him feel like the most important person in the world! I am in absolute awe of this, As well, I am very thankful for everyone who has worked so hard to make a young man feel this good.
Tomorrow is our last travel day to home. I will send out another update and let you all know how we do. It should be another good day!

Alexander's Roadtrip · May 1, 2010

Just a quick update to let you guys know that today was our last travel day and we made it home safe and sound this evening. I want to say to all of you amazing Ferrari guys (as well as Lambo's and other exotic car guys)thank you so much for making Alexander's road trip "THE MOST INCREDIBLE JOURNEY" ever. It has been the most positive, up lifting experience for Alexander! He has been so touched and inspired by everyone, we are grateful for all of the love and generosity you have shown to him and all of us. This trip has given us some really amazing memories that we will always treasure and never forget! So to each and every one of you who came out and participated thank you for your extraordinary kindness. All the best, love to you all, Bridget

TommyJames · May 1, 2010

Glad to hear you all made it back safely with terrific memories to take back. I know everyone here in the Seattle area was happy to participate and a lot more wished they could make it. We do have an amazing car community.

TommyJames · May 1, 2010

Also a giant thanks to the Tukwila Police Department for escorting us out of the parking lot and onto the freeway. A Dodge Charger tried to cut through the line and he was promptly pulled over and chewed out. The delay was worth it.

This is so great. Keep it up guys!

best wishes to Alexander for all the future holds and well done to all the automotive forums and others who made he wish come true!

air540boarder · May 19, 2010

This is by far the most touching post I've ever read in a forum (of any kind).

kavehcohen · May 19, 2010

I'm also new to the forum and am so sorry to have missed the opportunity to meet this brave young man. I have would have been so happy to bring my F430 for him to see and enjoy along with all the other wonderful people who showed up with their motor cars.

All my best,

Kaveh
