For us, it depends where we are going. If we are going tov visit my parents and we have room in the suitcases we pack our cloth (but usually plan on washing daily) and use sposies on the plane. If we are going on a road trip or camping then we use sposies.
CDing while out of town
My baby still isn't here yet, but we are planning on cloth diapering and have a question. What do you ladies do when you go out of town? Take diapers with you and launder as you go? Use disposables? Hoping to learn from your experiences.

So far we have been on a two week trip out of state, a two week trip out of the country, and a three day trip out of state. We've never used disposables.

No. I often need to strip a little as I don't take time/money to as many extra hot rinses as I do at home.

I also think it depends upon the type of travel and the destination.
We've often brought our cloth along (easy for weekend trips-just bring the dirty home). We've often used the laundromat and had no negative experiences.
We use paper when we travel overseas to the in laws. They already think we do too much laundry when we visit

I have used gDiapers when traveling as well. They are a nice compromise. And you can use the flushable inserts in a regular wrap... not just theirs. Though maybe not quite as successfully, I guess it depends on the wrap.
Mostly I think it is what you're comfortable with as a guest/tourist/camper/etc.

For short trips, say anything up to 4 or 5 days, I find it's no hassle at all to bring the CD's.
We recently went on a long weekend (thurs morning -sunday night) and I just brought all the diapers; washed them before we left and then threw them in the washer as soon as we got home (well, after I forgot about them for a couple of hours, lol).
Was no problem at all.
We are going away (flying) for 2 weeks this summer though, and I think I'll probably buy sposies for that (or rather, buy them there once we arrive, I guess!)...
We'll be staying with my in-laws for a few days I'm sure

so theoretically I'd be able to use their washing machine, but I don't know... my MIL is very nosy and I'd probably feel annoyed if she butted in on how I should wash the diapers, or something

And also, I'd have to find space in our luggage, or pay for an extra piece of checked luggage, which would be like 30euro extra, so I think we'll probably go for sposies that time.
I much much much prefer cloth though, so I'm kind of still on the fence!
