Trip anxiety

Does anybody ever else get like a dread of anxiety like a few days or the day before they travel anywhere? Like I've always been like this since I was a kid about going to a new place or going somewhere unfamiliar just because it's just new I guess to myself so I feel like a sense of dread hit me up until the day I leave and then I feel fine. Like is there a phobia for this?

I never sleep the night before a vacation and if it's a new spot I really don't sleep at all. I love going to new places and discovering new fun things, but I dread getting there. Once I'm on the road, or in the air, I calm down - no more wondering and worrying, just down to dealing with the bumps, if any.

I also have real difficulties sleeping in strange places, so have learned to always bring my own pillow - it helps so much!!!

Not my worry about flying or losing bags. I think I'm just nervous about packing and preparing
