Bring all of your umbrellas
Clothes, unless needed at work (probably not) most dress clothes are not neccessary (even when the symphony was here, it was 'dress casual'), no need for nylons, leave leather items unless you are wearing them almost daily.
Pack your stuff in your plastic storage bins (cardboard storage boxes don't hold up well here, so look at how you plan to store things here), bring things that have strong emotional ties (remember that the sun, humidity, salt spray & VOG all will work against your treasures), soft woods (pine & such) are easy snacks for termites & powder post beatles - even harder woods have problems) We have found that our heavy, fluffy towels are not as practical as the thinnest towels - the thick owns don't dry out quick enough & tend to get musty fast (same thing for any clothing, linens & such)
Some of what to bring does depend on where you are from & where you are moving to (the difference of 1,000 feet elevation here can change temp & rain & humidity) and how you plan to live (we decided that we wanted to lighten up, go more with lanai type furniture & not bring our overstuffed furniture...
Oh, look at all of your electronics, eletricity rate is 3X the national average....
