What you could do is buy some little plastic attachments that screw onto the ends of plastic water bottles and spike them into the growbags/pots you ought to be able to buy these at a garden centre. Or else you could try "wicking" a large container water with a material "wick" fed into the containers with the tomato plants. There are quite a few methods of keeping your plants watered during our absence that you could try.
If you're going for the 2nd of Nungates ideas keep the bucket of water higher than the soil level in the pot and use thick string to wick the water into the toms
That's exactly how Superscrimpers advised to water plants whilst on holiday, the 'wick' method!
