YES! Downsizing is essential. My biggest regret is that we bothered to bring our furniture with. It was apparent that the styles are different here. Unless you formally entertain you can leave behind the heavy furniture and china cabinet. No need for formal dishes or serving pieces... Clothing is also different here, I have up north clothes and FL clothes. Depending on your house size, you probably won't need the whole house Christmas decorating scheme. I am down to one large box.
Be careful storing items in the space above the garage, it gets incredibly hot.
This is my experience, enjoy yours, and WELCOME!!!!
