Start mail forwarding a few days before you leave, it takes about a week to get to me on the west coast. I also stop the msil forwarding 2 weeks before I come back and have it held for those 2 weeks. I leave for 2 or 3 months twice each year and this works great for me. I also have the USPS send me photos of what's in my mail, so I know what's coming and can look for it.
All works great for me and I don't have to rely on a neighbor.
