Get rid of most of your clothes, give to the family all the stuff you say they will get one day, sell the furniture with the house or apartment, buy new here. Check out PODS, (metal shipping containers) for what ever is left.
I disagree with those who say you only need shorts and summer clothes down here. In the winter days in the 40s are common so you still need some long pants, sweaters and winter coat, hat, gloves, etc. Not a lot I admit but don’t get rid of all your winter stuff unless you want to buy all new.
