Ok, so we have an extra bedroom and live literally at the edge of a Florida swamp (back yard slopes down right into it) so we have rainforest humidity as well as bananas, mangoes, coconuts, sugar cane and such in the yard... can't get much closer than that without being on an Bahamian island... :) We're 12 minutes from the beach as well....
My house could help your bronchitis and you could help my sewing skills :)
How much would you rent your extra room for?
