Leave the down comforter. Takes up alot of packing space and you only need a comforter here maybe a couple nights a year (unless you live above 1000 feet in elevation).
Things I was sorry I brought:
1) my TV...It's better to sell whatever TV you have now and buy a new one here (Sears or someplace that offers extended service plans). Electronic equipment doesn't seem to hold well in high humidity.
2) all my books. Books get saturated by the humidity and heat and they deteriorate rapidly. Better off just donate them to your local used book store there and then check out books from the local library here. I was amazed what I found in the Hilo Library.
