If you have an unexpired greencard you don't need anything else. You can stay outside
the US for up to a year with no problems. If you know you will be gone longer than
that you must apply for a "re-entry" permit before you leave the US (one cannot get
this outside the US as I understand it). This will allow you to remain outside the US
for up to 2 years I believe.

If you do consider applying for naturalization asap, be aware not to stay outside US
for longer than 180 days per trip. Your clock towards naturalization re-starts if you
are absent from the US soil for more than 180 days in a trip. Check the
naturalization eligibility at INS's web site -

Read the original post. "first time after I got my green card...."
All you need is your green card and passport.

In addition to your green card, you need your passport, unless you are going to
Canada. Most airlines will not let you aboard if you don't have a passport and
most countries will refuse entry, or at least make you go through lots of hoops
without a passport.
