That's what we always did, and it worked fine. The PO would forward it for six months. You can fill out the form online, or get one and hand it in at your postal center.

Also, our postal guy in Tamarind Grove said they are used to holding people's mail. It's no biggie to them. They line boxes up inside the postal room and keep the mail till the snowbirds return.
