Answer 1

It's a long journey but the views are wonderful and we can't wait to see the sunrise every morning! We hope to arrive in a week!

¡Es un viaje largo pero las vistas son maravillosas (o estupendas) y estamos impaciente por ver la salida del sol cada mañana! ¡Esperamos llegar dentro de una semana!

Editor's note/s: I know that you can also translate the phrase: 'I can't wait' to do something as: No veo la hora de...+ infinitive but I decided against using this verbal construction because the infinitive following would also be ver in this case! I thought that: No veo la hora de ver would sound strange and funny and I 'm not sure if the natives would use ver twice in this way! Dani, /Heidi, what do you think?

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Muchas gracias por elegir mi respuesta como el mejor post, Nickel :) - FELIZ77, Jul 17, 2017

Answer 4

¿Es el camino hacia cielo...o invierno?

Is this the road to heaven....or hell?

¿Querías decir "invierno"? ¿Seguro? - DonBigoteDeLaLancha, Jul 8, 2017

Answer 5

Una de las ventajas de viajar en tren en vez de volar los cielos amigables es que nadie te arrastra gritando por el pasillo para crear espacio para otra persona.

One of the advantages of traveling by train instead of flying the friendly skies is that no one drags you screaming through the aisle to make room for someone else.

Yes, that is true Bosquee, What United airlines staff did was INexcusable when they treated that doctor in the manner that they did! - FELIZ77, Jul 7, 2017

I don't know if you saw the latest, kicking a kid out the seat his mother paid $1000 dollars for and making him ride on her lap. :( - bosquederoble, Jul 7, 2017

No, I haven't seen that...that's appalling and disgraceful! Is that United Airlines, the American owned airline again? - FELIZ77, Jul 7, 2017

Apparantly, according to report on talktalk news page some weeks ago (possibly Huffington Post) one of their employees kicked a 71 year old man and left him unconcious for daring to request another (duplicate) copy of his boarding pass! The employee told - FELIZ77, Jul 7, 2017

the pensioner that they were short staffed then attacked him! The man recovered and last I read he was planning to sue the airline! It is surprising the airline is still in business! - FELIZ77, Jul 7, 2017

The airlines should be forced to stop making passengers pay just because the airlines overbook If they are going to overbook let them do it in grand style and lay on an extra plane to ensure everybody gets to travel on the plane they booked! - FELIZ77, Jul 7, 2017

There is also a lot of fake news out there. Check it with Snopes. - rac1, Jul 7, 2017

The airline draggin dr. Dao off is on snopes, The new 2 year old denied seat by united is not, but it has been reported in so many places from washington post to fox, that it is hard not to believe it. - bosquederoble, Jul 8, 2017

"Viajar por los carriles" es mucho menos romántico que las canciónes y los cuentos lo hacen parecer ser.

"Riding the rails" is a lot less romantic than songs and stories make it out to be.
