Try bees wax to protect the mandolin wood. Also, there are actually lights designed for closets to keep things dry, plus there is the good old dehumidifier. Definitely bring the mandolin.
We brought a 20 foot container. Would never do that again. Pack a crate with your "can't live without's" -- and realize there really aren't any -- and come over with your suitcases. Everything is attainable here unless you need tools for a fine trade that are ancient and exquisite... (woodworking??).
By the time we spent $6000 on the container and trucking and such, we could easily have replaced what we brought. It's fun to shop slowly, create your new life really new and can be cost effective if you use your sense and take your time.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
