This looks like a Spanish lesson. It's a conversation on two people talking about their holidays.
We can't do your work for you, so you have to make your own attempt first and we'll help you with corrections and explanations.

Altogether I'm trying to translate about 50 of these sorts of videos (long story), but for some reason I'm really struggling with about 4 of them, so I was hoping I could post them here and get 'em translated.

I've tried, but I'm completely lost :/ I've gone through and can't really make out enough to make any sentences/segments that could really be built on.

Yes, I know that. I was hoping I could get the translation, though, so I could use it for future learning reference. That if I could get exactly what this one means, I'd be able to piece together the other ones, as they're very similar in structure to this.

I'd be willing to put up my attempt at translating it myself, but I'm not sure how much help it'll be as it's probably a ways off. If that would help ease the concern of just being a translation service, I could do so, though.

If you could help, it would be very much appreciated.

You can start by transcribing what you understand from the dialogue in Spanish, then we can help you with hints to fill the gaps and you can start translating.

I'm assuming you know how to speak Spanish well. Is it possible for you to write up a Spanish-Language transcription of the recording? I'm a visual learner, so if I could see and hear it, I think I could peace a lot more coherent parts together, and then I we can work on the finer points of translating it to English.
