Potty Training while on vacation- Help
My almost 3-year-old has done a complete 180 since my last potty training question 2 weeks ago. We decided to try the barebum method where she's nude, then commando, then with underwear over the course of a week, and it clicked right away on day 1.
Here is what has changed:
I no longer have to encourage to go to the restroom. With the exception of when we are going for a drive, I tell her to go before we leave and also right before bed.
She has been going alone and wants privacy
Her pull-ups have been dry all night for the past 4-5 days, so I think we will switch to underwear at night and waterproof sheets
She has had an accident about once a week when she's too distracted and doesn't make it to the restroom on time.
Question:
Since we've been in lockdown, we really haven't had to deal with accidents in public or public bathroom sagas. We are planning on staying the summer in a different state to quarantine there for a few unrelated reasons, however, is it possible that she will regress there due to the change in environment?
How do other parents work on potty training while traveling or navigating normal outside of home life?

Anytime there's a change in routine, it can be expected that a regression can occur. This would hold true even if you weren't traveling, but simply getting back to a regular routine of school/work, activities and home. Also there are a lot more distractions out and about than at home where everything is status quo.
I would set a little reminder on your phone for every 2 hours or so to mention it to her and see if she needs to go. I think you'll know really early on if she's going to transition well or need more nudges to go.
My son never needed the nudges, but also during his potty training phase there was a lot of extended consistency in a school and home environment.
