I also use e-mail to preserve my important information. Scan the main passport page, credit cards, vaccination sheet, and anything else that's important and e-mail it to yourself. If something is lost simply open you e-mail and you have proof for the embassy. ~Gennaro Great tips, Rolf. I also use e-mail to preserve my important information.

I've been using them for about a month in preparation for my RTW trip. Its a virtual P.O. Box, they scan the front of each piece of mail. I can choose to have them shred, recycle, open + scan contents, or forward it to me. Minor hitches, but so far so good. It's an ideal solution for me if it works out.

Better suggestion - leave your banking information with the trusted friend or family member that is receiving your mail. They can deposit the cheque into your account. I'm not convinced that long term travelers really need to receive mail in this world of electronic correspondence. How were you planning on cashing that cheque?
