The China room, like its counterparts, is more an experience than an accommodation. The Malaysian hardwood bed has a duvet busy with Chinese characters, and the entrance to the bathroom is a set of colorful temple doors.

During lobster season,you go armed with a tickle stick and net. When you spot a lobster under a rock or ledge, the tickle stick is slipped in behind him to urge out of his hole. Then the net drops down and you have dinner.

Scalloping in Steinhatchee
The town is a delicious time warp where century-old fishing camps languish beneath mossy oaks, and weathered docks rock gently in the wake of fishing boats.

Houseboating on the Suwannee River
It was a brisk September evening - the first cool spell of the year - and we sat listening to the waves slapping against the bow. Even the girls fell into a quiet mood, snuggled up against the breeze in a blanket.
