One translation Hello, a word by word translation is cumbersome and probably meaningless but in the following translation (I hope it is as accurate as it can be) I have tried to clarify the meaning of some important terms.



Hola princesa ! Hello Princess !
.
.
no se que esta pasando, " don't know what is happening,"
.
.
no he recibido sino este mail, "I have only received this mail". "este mail" (this mail) is the standard way to refer to the message itself (i.e the one you ask to be translated) but I think in this case the term refers a previous message that he received (from you?). Also, "mail" almost always refers to an email. A paper letter is a "carta". By the way this phrase is redacted (the use of the term "sino") it looks like he was expecting more mails. I think a better translation could be "I have not received but this mail".
.
.
y te he enviado varios para decirte lo del viaje "and I have sent you many (mails?) to tell you about the viaje". "te he enviado varios" can be translated, I think, as "I have sent you many". The subject in that phrase is implicit (a correct construct in Spanish). From the context, I think the subject is mails. "viaje" means "travel" or "traveling".
.
.
se atrazo una semana, "it was delayed a week,". "atrazo" is misspelled, it should be "atrasó". This phrase refers to the "viaje".
.
.
viajo el 1 de febrero "I travel on february 1.". A period mark at the end of the phrase is missing here.
.
.
me gustaria quedarme contigo, en esos dias, "I would like to stay with you on these days,". "quedarme contigo" means in this case to stay in your home or on the same house/hotel etc. with you.
.
.
dime si puedes "tell me if you can" / "tell me if this is OK for you" / "tell me if you would allow me (to stay)". A comma or period mark at the end of the phrase is clearly missing here.
.
.
de todas formas el dr BLAHBLAH viaja a las vegas esta sabado y llega a miami el proximo domingo "anyway, Dr. BLAHBLAH will travel to Las Vegas this Saturday and will arrive to Miami the next Sunday". "de todas formas" means, I think, that Dr. BLAHBLAH will travel no matter if he travels or not.
.
.
y yo viajaria dependiendo de ti el jueves o el domingo, "and I would travel, depending on you, on Thursday or Sunday,". "dependiendo de ti" means that he will consult you or that he needs some kind of answer/confirmation to decide if he is going to travel at all, and if that is the case, he would arrive on one those days. It could also mean that he will travel, but he needs to consult you about the specific day.
.
.
el jueves para estar contigo mas tiempo "on Thursday so I can share more time with you"
.
.
o el domingo si tu no puedes viajar. "or on Sunday if you can't travel."
.
.
besos kisses

That is what I understood, too, cali373 but, didn't you leave out something about "Practicing on those other blonde babes in Las Vegas"?

Why Not Colombia?..........Stay Tuned, for more.... utterly worthless, self-indulgent gobbets of nonsense.

Translation... Hi...I haven't called or emailed because I am an ass and think that you will wait for me to decide on what I want to do. You should understand...This is my nature...I'm a Doctor. I can do it and you will love it. If you want to see me, you can. If you don't, I'm sure someone else will.

That is the real translation. These other guys must have been reading a different message. LOL

Just kiddin Blondie. Have fun.

He's hoping to play "hide the salami" with you all weekend.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Hey Blondie..It suprises Hey Blondie..

It suprises me, dont u guys have any other media for communication, only just mails!!!
why dont u guys try something with web chat or phone numbers to discuss his travel.
i recommend, these should give more clarity for both, not only for travel but also in general..
