How soon must one recite Birkat haGomel?

Hi,

Ramban said that one must say Birkat haGomel within three days of one's trip, since that's when one's head is still "in the trip." Rashba said one may say it for up to five days.

The Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 219:6) says one has three days, but one may make it up afterward if necessary.

[See also Tzitz Eliezer 13:17:9.]

Have a great day,
Mordechai
