At this point i think porcelain wood look tile is the way we'll good. Only down fall to this is all the grout lines..

Steve,
Real wood has been used in building in humid regions for thousands of years. Look at the old homes in and around Charleston that are 100-200 years old that have wood frames, siding, floors, etc. Many still have their original floors. I am sure you have air conditioning. A/C is a dehumidifier. The amount of moisture you would need to buckle a solid hardwood floor would only come from a deluge of water. A flood, broken pipe, etc.
