BC question!

So I was totally forgetful this week and just realized that this month's BC ends on Friday and Saturday would be my first day of the new pack. However, I forgot to pick up the new pack from the pharmacist's.

This is a problem because I'm leaving town Friday to Tuesday.

Will missing 3 days of BC screw my body up? I'm not having sex during those 3 days so I'm not worried about any pregnancy-related things, I'm mostly concerned about other physical effects that this might have. I will start my new pack on Tuesday. And when I start the new pack, should I start from the first day as usual or the 3rd day?

Thank you.

Start your new pack on the first day of active pills. You'll also need to use a backup method of birth control for an additional seven days.

You should start on the first day, as usual, and use backup protection starting, well, now, until you've been 7 days on the active pills. It's probably not enough time to have much in the way of physical effects, though.
