Watering While On Vacation..

I just read that people can lay one end of a towel around a vanda's roots and have the other end in a container of water to keep the plant moist while away.

I wonder if the African violet pots would work the same way. They consist of an unglazed clay pot that the plant goes in. It has no holes in it whatsoever. This pot fits inside another, larger pot that contains water and slowly waters the plant through the porosity of the first clay pot. Has anyone tried using one of these for their orchids?

What do you do to keep your plants from drying out when you leave somewhere. Besides, of course, having someone else take care of them.
