Question goining on vacation how to water?

Hi,
I'm going to be gone for about 10 days and was wondering what to do about watering my phals & catt? The catt is in a terra cotta pot but the phals are all in plastic pots. My daughter is looking after the animals but I'm not sure I can trust her to look after my orchids. Is there something creative I can do?
Thanks! Deby

Not sure what kind of media you have your phals in - I have about 30 of them and they can easily go 10 days without being watered at all. My guess is the catt could too? Especially if they are kept a little on the cooler shaded side if possible during this interlude.
