I know the post office here will hold our mail for 30 days, but then what? For those who have been down this road, what did you do about your mail? Can we get a post office box down there?

Any other advice you can share would be greatly appreciated. We haven't moved in 20 years, so it's all like new. Our furniture and most of the household stuff is being re-homed. We're only bringing our personal items, clothing, books, quilting fabrics (I couldn't part with them!), and other sentimental decorative items. We've already cleaned out a lot of stuff so, I think we're good in that department. Anything else I should know before getting there?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

You could consider renting a mailbox at one of the two Village Pack & Ship locations - then sign up for weekly premium mail forwarding at your local post office.
