              There are forwarding services like myrvmail.com and I know USPS will even forward mail temporarily. BUt since you won’t have an actual address for USPS to forward to and myrvmail.com might be overkill for just a few months. I’d recommend (and its what I do), is just have a family member.neighbor check the mail once a week. I have somebody come by and water plants and check the house anyways, so I just have them grab the mail too. I know that wont work for everyone, but its an idea.

                  You could also just put a temporary hold on your mail at the post office. I think a hold of 30 days is standard, but they might hold it for longer.

                      We just have our neighbor watch our house and get our mail. They are pretty good at letting me know if something looks important. 🙂
