I proposed the title of this post as the theme of our vacation. Little did I know that the fracas would start before we got on the plane to Paris.
We got to the airport and turned in the rental car with plenty of time to spare. I opened my purse and found no baggie of contact lenses, solutions, and prescription eye drops. I’d left all of them on Mom’s dining room table. I couldn’t get hold of my niece to ferry them to the airport until it was too late. I called my optometrist to see if I could go without the eye drops until I got back to Seattle. He said I wouldn’t go blind, but perhaps I could find a pharmacy that could dispense a prescription if he emailed it. I ordered a spare pair of lenses to pick up when we returned to town. So I’ll be using the No BS glasses for the balance of the trip.
There was a happy ending to this episode. On our way to dinner our first night in Lyon we walked into a pharmacy and asked if I could purchase some of the eye drops without a prescription. The pharmacist sold me a package of three vials. One bonus: These vials contain the non-generic version of the drug that’s stable at room temperature.
After the chaos died down, Julian asked if he’d get a pass next time he lost or misplaced something. Nah…
