Good luck!
I've taken a couple small business trips since this bedwetter and diapers started. Just BOS to NYC for a week at a time. I have one suitcase I pack my clothes and diapers in. It's big but just acceptable as carry on. If I go for a week I bring 10-12 diapers. One for each night plus a handful of extras in case tapes pop or something rips. I've never had the TSA bat an eye or ask me to open the case.
Wife and I are just starting to plan a big trip for next year. She's Polynesian. Her parents are 1st generation Tongan immigrants and they have a couple houses still in Tonga. It's a very long flight (Bos to LA, LA to Sidney or NZ, there to Tonga). We'd go for at least 3 weeks because it's so far and so much travel that it's just not worth it to go for a week. I'm dying to go, because I love the awesome culture I married into and can't wait to see the islands. It's like Fiji but without all the commercial development and resorts. A tropical paradise left mostly in it's natural state.
I'm also dreading it bc that's a lot of diapers to pack. And I honestly don't trust that I could ship a case of diapers over there ahead of time. A relative would probably open the box! So I'd probably have to bring a second suitcase with just diapers in it. Also, on such a long haul flight I'd have to be diapered since I'd be sleeping. I'd probably just put my diaper on with a booster in the airport bathroom rather than deal with the tiny plane bathroom.
