If you're taking the combined pill you can just run one packet onto the next without a break.

If you are taking a monophasic combined pill (more than one colour in each pack) you can do it by taking the last row of the next pack - if you start at the beginning of the next pack the dose won't be enough to stop you bleeding.

I do this all the time. Just take the packets continuously - doesn't do any harm.

Then it depends how soon your holiday is!

Yes there is a pill you can take to delay a period for things like holidays, exams etc. Your GP can prescribe it.
