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.'
