I said this phrase was incorrect as I though the a in ave would change the una to an un.

However I was marked wrong and apparently it is a correct phrase.

The quiz translated this as "She is looking forward to starting her trip to Honduras." Wouldn't that be "Ella está deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras."?

Do I understand correctly that both tenses are possible? If so, is there a difference in meaning or are they interchangeable?

Miguel has one girlfriend and you have too many.

Una novia is singular so why is my answer demasiada wrong.
