Preparing for transport. Traveling frogs! How the heck do YOU do it?

LOL!

I just got back from a week vacation, and was trying to figure out the same thing (my husband didn't want to take care of the frogs either
This is what I did, and it worked great:
Bought a timer for the light cycle.
Bought a zoo-med hygrotherm (found on amazon) and attached my heat source and reptifogger, this successfully regulated the heat and humidity.
The only two things my husband had to do was make sure the reptifogger had water in the container, and pour some crickets in the viv about twice. And I did remind him so he wouldn't forget. Oh, and of course change out the water bowl every other day.

If getting this set up ready before your trip isn't possible, then your plan sounds ok to me... as far as making sure the plants don't topple over, maybe some floral tape and tape to walls of tub?

Good luck!

Your husband is nice to do all that!! My man's reaction when I got the frogs was pretty much, "you're not leaving me with them."

Yeah I have a fogger and timer and stuff, but the paper towel substrate has to be checked that it doesn't dry out. Maybe I will just try another substrate? I have 4 more days to figure it out.

Funny you mention floral tape. I was considering floral clay to stick the pots to the bottom of the temporary 'vacation tank.'

Yeah, my husband was pretty nice to do all that! If this were my situation, I would beg your husband to help you out... The frogs would not be happy to be moved.
If you have the timer, fogger, and hygrotherm already, then he really doesn't have to do a whole lot. Dump some crickets in maybe 3 times, change the water bowl, and make sure the fogger has water. You could have the de-chlorinated water in a gallon ready to go, and the distilled for the fogger in easy access.
If you're gonna take them along with you, I would bring your thermometer and hygrometer as well. Maybe not put the climbing stuff in the tank until you get to your hotel/lodge? I do not have red-eyes, only white's. My understanding is that red-eyes are very easily stressed. My first choice would be to leave them aat home. Your husband can handle a little bit of frog maintenance, expecially if there is some sort of prize when you get back home
