Top answer

" 'look forward to ' look forward to October look forward to their return after/from their holiday look forward to their arrival next Saturday look forward to seeing them again The simple present sounds a little cool and distant, and you may want that. But the continuous sounds a little warmer and emotionally involved, so if you want that, you should change it to "I'm looking forward to". CJ
