"looking forward"
¿Existe una expresión en español igual (o casi igual) a "looking forward to" (as in, "We are looking forward to our visit with you.")?
gracias en anticipación,

contigo = with you - familiar
You could use "esperar con ansia" or "esperar con impaciencia". But you really need context when appying the phrase "to look forward to". For instance,
we're looking forward to the journey - el viaje nos hace mucha iluisión.
we had been looking forward to it for weeks - durante semanas enteras veníamos pensando en eso con mucha ilusión.
Im really looking forward to the holiday - estoy deseando que lleguen las vaccaciones.
You also have "to look forward to doing something" - tener muchas ganas de hacer algo.
Okay, the first things that came to my mind were:
Me ilusiona ____.
Tengo (muchas) ganas de _____.
I would really love a native speaker to chime in here and explain the difference between these, and whether either conveys the same idea as "I'm looking forward to ____."
