I feel confident in your ability to endure whatever tribulations the summer season throws at your person, as it's more likely than not that your vaction is amply stupendous!



The second part of the sentence "as it's more likely than not that your vaction is amply stupendous!" confused me.what does that mean?

It means: the possibility that the vacation is filled with amazing and wonderful experiences is greater than the possibility that it is filled with trials and tribulations. I believe the writer is trying to say, on balance, the vacation is really more wonderful than horrible. Because of the use of the present tense here, it seems like the sentence comes from something like a conversation with a counselor, who is encouraging the person to see the bigger picture of what's currently going on.
