Czech term or phrase: To jsem rad jsem u ...
To jsem rad jsem u vam zavolam pozdeji. Pekne si to tam užij pane

That's exactly how it's worded.
Does the first part mean anything more than "I'm glad"? Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

English translation:I'm glad. I'm at your place - will call you later.
Explanation:
"u vam" should be "u vas", and I'm assuming it's the person's flat or something.
