Castillian or LatAM

I believe these were prompts etc for Spain and not LatAM... You had asked me to give you specifics:  Kwizbot gave me a very "Castilian" (Spain) hint with la mar de. It’s a colorful, slightly informal way to say "extremely" or "a lot of."

These two goals are going to be extremely difficult to achieve,

goal = objetivo, extremely = la mar de


Also this sentence:

but it is all about getting down to it and getting used to it. 

Kwizbot: pero todo es ponerse a ello y acostumbrarse. 

I was tempted to use "se trata de"... and found out that a person in Mexico or Colombia would likely say that specific sentence:

"...pero se trata de ponerse ….


Also this sentence:

 she could take a trip to some special place 

Kwizbot: 

ella podría dedicarse un viaje a algún sitio especial

You

ella podría hacer un viiaje en algún sitio especialIn Latin America, you are far more likely to hear "hacer un viaje" or even "tomar un viaje."
