Im about to go on a business trip for a shoot, and its going to be for a couple of days with one other colleague which also happens to be my boss. We will be flying to the shoot location and Im sure that we will be sleeping in different rooms, but besides that we will be together majority of the time. I dont know if I should say something our just keep everything to myself, I havent told anyone about me having to wear protecrion due to my incontinence other then my wife and some family memebers.

I believe this depends on how comfortable you are with your boss and how much you trust him/her. Ultimately, I wouldn't say anything unless there is something that causes the issue to come up. There may be questions on why you are carrying a bag into the bathroom, but a simple explanation of I have a medical condition that requires certain things to be done when going to the bathroom.

Hopefully some others will chime in to give advice.

You should not have to tell your employer unless it affects how you can do your job and the employer would need to make arrangements to facilitate you doing your job with the "disability". Sharing a room might be that reason but you should just need to say "medical reasons".

If it doesn't affect your ability to do your job, and with the fact that you will be staying in different rooms I wouldn't see a reason to tell your boss unless you wanted to.

I'm with you on that one Bob. I travel a lot more often than most (every week so far this year), but I truly treasure the time I get to spend at home with her. we each look forward to our nightly phone call, and often text each other during the day. We may sound like newlyweds, but its been more than 35 years.
