Hi Mari!
I guess it worked out with the other guest... it sounds like you feel better about being in the living room. Did the dog being there bother you at all? Or reassure you maybe? Labs are usually pretty good dogs... they are people dogs, basically, know how to treat a human.

But I wonder how you feel about sharing sleeping quarters like that.
The lake expedition sounds cool. Your brother sounds really passionate about it... and wants to share that with you.

I hope you enjoyed it, despite the early hour and lack of sleep. Look forward to hearing about it.
You will recover the sleep when you get home. It will be ok.
Hope the return flight goes well.
