I second Bob Kovach's post about St. Brendan's Isle. We have been with them since we ran away from home in 2006. We use their ScanPro service if we find that we receive something that might be need immediate attention.

About once a month I have them bundle everything up and forward it to wherever we happen to be. They will send it by whatever method you choose. It can come via slow-boat-from-China or Fed-Ex overnight or anything in between. You pay for it so you get to choose the delivery method. They save your delivery address for future use so if you are spending several months in one location or if you have a favorite stop along the way it is even easier to have stuff sent the next time.

Before we left for the Bahamas we inquired about delivery and SBI was pretty negative. Mail service is pretty abysmal over here, as it was when we were here in the '70's. You can use FedEx but the cost is breathtaking.

All in all, St Brendan's is a bloody miracle...it works just like advertised!  And it's amazing how many people we meet who live at 411 Walnut St.!
