I wouldn't worry much about it.  Take the plants out and wrap them in
wet newspaper or put them in plastic bags.  We have shipped plants to
people this way and have had no problems.  Trying to move the tank
with some water and gravel is probably hard on the tank and yourself.

Hey, great time to add substrate heating coils <g>
