On our Way Home to Puna

I'd also suggest keeping at least one set of winter weight garments. Odds are you'll be traveling back to the mainland to visit at some point, and it helps to have appropriate clothes to wear. Rather than keeping my "real" winter coat, I kept a warm Spring-appropriate jacket and several sweaters I could layer. I wish I'd kept winter gloves, scarves and a hat - I keep buying replacements when I go back to "America" and I keep losing them/forget to pack them on subsequent trips.
