"I'm really looking forward to take in at a the hotel and unpack the bags.' This needs to be changed. It isn't clear.

Other than that there are a few small edits that I can do for you.

Best,

David

Hi David,
is it better to write:
"I really look forward to go to the hotel and pack up my bags"

?

Yes,

I think that makes it. Why don't you edit it that way and we'll see what happens when we put it for a vote.

Pia
I don't think pack up is a good choice.
That is used when you finished doing something and will collect your thing together and put them into bags or boxes.
I guess that what the writer means is: unpack...go to the hotel and unpack my bags.( rest, after the tough journey). It seems to me that the person has just arrived somewhere new and is on his/her way to the hotel from the airport perhaps... ?

Hi Lilly.
Agree...unpack sounds better than pack up!
I actually used that word "unpack" in my origin translation before edits..

Shall I edit it back dramati to:
"I really look forward to go to the hotel and unpack my bags."

even better! Good idea

Just one little remark Pia:

"...är våran taxi som står här utanför "
"...is our taxi that is outside "

Ok, I'll edit.
And also change "I think that it is our taxi that waits outside.." to "I think that it is our taxi which stand outside" (som står)

Thanks Lilian for notice me again!

Pia:
I think you misunderstood me.
What I meant is that you should use the verb "to be" in that sentence:
I think it's our taxi which is outside.
If you like "stand" better, you have to put it into 3rd person: (it)stands
However, I feel that it sounds much better is in English.
But, that's a matter of choice.

Ok...missunderstandings ALL the time.

I'll edit to "is" now, maybe that is a better way to write in english.

"nit picking", you may say about my suggestions, but here is another one:

is out there or just outside

sorry for being so boring, I promise, this is the last one!!!

"A tough but funny journey."

I'll edit to your proposal Lilly and even to yours svennebus. So..now I have to give you half the points Lilly, since this translation is more yours than mine now.

Thank you both for good proposal!

Come on, Pia!

You have helped me already.
I'm glad to be "useful".

Now thats the spirit...all any of us wants to do is to give a good translation...I love you both! Great work.
