Do you really need to take food and diapers? I always bring one day's worth of snacks and diapers and then buy more once I'm there. If you rent a car, it's really easy. Also most of the limos will include a grocery stop if you want one.
I also take a small collapsible bag packed inside my suitcase. It's only about 5 inches square when folded and duffle size when expanded. I used it for laundry when we travel and then as an extra bag on the way back.
Also ... is your DS going to be a lap child? If you bought him a seat, he'll be happier in his car seat. Even if you didn't, many times a flight will have an extra seat for you if you bring your car seat to the gate. You can ask at check-in. I bungie our car seat to a collapsible luggage cart and drag it behind me. I would also suggest that you "gate check" the stroller so you can have it with you all the time. Plus, imagine all the carry-ons you can hang off of it .
Good luck! I try and try to pack light myself but somehow always end up feeling like a sherpa.
