Rusty has a spectacular aura aboutRusty has a spectacular aura about
This:
Sí, ya mañana compro el vuelo.
Me voy de McAllen para Orlando.
Te hablo para pasarte los datos, ¿está bien?
Y que vayas por mí al aeropuerto.
Estaría bien si puedes, verdad.
Bye, que estoy haciendo una tareina.

Roughly translates to:
Yes, tomorrow I'm buying the ticket for the flight from McAllen to Orlando.
I'll call you with the details, OK? And I hope you're coming to pick me up.
It'd be really nice if you could.
Bye, I'm a bit busy right now.

It looks like

¡Qué padre! Ahora sí es seguro que (esté/vaya a estar/estaré) allá ¿Me vas a llevar a pasear?

written after a brain stroke. Something like

Cool! Now it's (almost almost) sure I'll be there, are you going to (pasear*) me?

*meaning: take me out, promenade, show me the city, have some fun together (innocent meaning)

aha, Brainstroke
- good pointers*

I see pasear was a hard one.
show me about. = (maybe) or = Show me a lot. (meaning much, or around)
¿I am asking?

I found this educational for me.
