^^ According to my own experience, this is all very true.
I would tell the pharmacist I am leaving on vacation.
I would inform her/him now and see if s/he can get an override or not.
The sooner you get this sorted out the better.
I usually tell them I am leaving a few days earlier so it's all sorted out earlier.
It's my understanding the pharmacist can ask for an override for an earlier refill if one is going away.
Please check this out with your pharmacy.
