We just got back from Dallas sunday night. We go every two months. It's an 11-12hr drive. We took the 6pack with us, always do. I put diapers on all the girls. They hold their water the entire time. I always arrive with dry diapers, they are for just in case. As soon as we arrive they squat and pee, in the diaper... I watch for their poop rituals and take off the diaper and get them on linoleum so I can clean up the tootsie rolls. Then back go the diapers. I use Pampers. Works great. They are pad trained and when not at home other people's throw rugs are just too tempting, so this is less stress on all of us. Diaper them for the ride home. No problems. The boys get a potty stop when we get gas, the 1/2 way point and when we arrive, about every 6hrs. This is to visit our grandchildren. Boarding them would cost a fortune, I'd miss them, they'd miss us, and the granddaughter's would be devastated.
