Default Grandis egg help

Well now my eggs are at day 77, I do believe they are still good. The problem is I am going across the country for xmas. I am leaving in 5 days. I dont know what to do. Im sure if they hatch while im gone, they wont make it in the incubator untill im home. Is there any safe way to travel with them. I could plug the incubator into a power inverter in my car. But I think it would be too bumpy and that could harm them. I am desporate for some sugestions. Thanks guys.

1. Wait 4.99999999999(you get it?) days to see if they hatch.
2. Have a tank setup for them ready to go so that all you(or someone else) would have to do is open the hatching container and place it in the bottom of the new tank
3. Find someone that is willing to come check the eggs daily and if need be to take care of step 2.

I wouldn't do the traveling thing. I am so nervous about popping the lid back on the deli cup when I'm checking the egg because sometimes they bounce a little and shift a little as well. I could only imagine the egg rolling in the car ride.

4. I would not do this one. But it could be an option. If you wait 4.99999999 days and they don't hatch, don't worry about them. (the biggest concern is how long will you be gone??) Once you get back home you'll get either excited or bummed.

Thanks, I have nobody that can stop by and check on them. I will be out of town for 10 days. I really hope they hatch before I leave.

Maybe there is some pet store near you that can take care of them while you're gone? I don't know if it's an option, just wanted to share the idea that came up to me.
