Is it normal to feel a little sad right before a trip?

It’s not just being nervous, but it’s not to the point where I’d call it a depression. But next week I’m leaving for a trip to Japan with some friends for nearly 3 weeks. It’s been years in the making and it’s almost time. I just packed the majority of my things today, and it hit me. For some reason I now feel kinda sad.

I’m not sure what it is exactly. Maybe sad that I’m going to be leaving home for a while? Though “home” is me living by myself and being a bit of a recluse. I can still text or call family like I do anyways.

I’ve heard of getting depressed after your vacation ends, and I’m sure I’ll be to some extent when this is over. However, I think by the end I’ll definitely be tired out of traveling for a while and will be glad to be back home.
