Vacationing with dragons?

[fluffpuffgerbil]

Just a quick question, we might be taking our annual trip to the Oregon Coast sometime this summer and we have a lot of pets, as you can see in my signature.... But the rest of the animals aren't much of an issue, but what about traveling with dragons? I don't really know anyone who could come over everyday to play with, feed, and bathe our spoiled baby dragons, and since we have two, it won't be too hard finding a per-friendly hotel we can stay at with them, or if we can afford, a pet freindly rental house.
But of course, two 40gal cages aren't that fun to travel with, so what would you all suggest for their cages if we take them to the beach with us?
Large rubbermaid bins? We are normally gone from 4-7 days, so it would have to be somewhat comfortable for the dragons,

i have a smaller travel tank.

we wanted to bring him to the beach with us but all of the hotels we called wouldn't let us bring a tank. don't understand why, it's not like they pee on everything like dogs.

we ended up dropping him off at a friend's house for a few days. now that i have 2 beardies i have a list of people who are willing to come over and beardie-sit. just make sure that they know how to take care of them. one member here was unfortunate enough to lose his beardie when someone put it with other lizards because they didn't know any better.

there are always the travel crates for dogs/cats or clear plastic tubs. if you do end up bringing them make sure you have harnesses for when you take them around with you. and a small pet carrier (like ones for ferrets) to put them in if you have to go into a store or if big birds are flying around.

Thanks! What size is your travel tank, do you know? We have 10 gallons, but those are obviously way too small for the dragons.
We have harnesses and I'd like to get a pet carrier(s) for the dragons(one of those small dog carriers, that way if I go out somewhere with one of the dragons and I need somewhere to put him if we go into a not-so-pet-friendly store, then I can just put him in there.)
I actually don't have any friends I trust well enough with my dragons, ><.... One maybe, but she lives in an apartment and can't have pets there. Plus I'm not too sure how happy her husband would feel about that. XD

I'd like to take them anyway... last time we left for a week, I was so pathetically reptile deprived. On our way home we stopped at almost every petstore along the way,. NONE of them had reptiles except for the BEST Reptile specialist store I've ever been to(in fact, the only one I've been to...) called House of Reptiles. I was in heaven there and I'd love to stop by there again. ^^

Thanks for the travel tips!
