I'd suggest:

1. Season the new humidor now. If you have the RH stabilized when you get back with your new cigars, no waiting - you'll be good to go. As long as the cigars are properly humidified, the transition to their new home should be seamless.
2. Get a digital hygrometer...and make sure you salt test it to be sure.
3. Keep the old humidor for exactly the reason Ted suggests, as well as for "overflow." Most of us know about overflow all too well.
4. Don't stress if you see minor fluctuations in RH. I like to run my humidors at 65%, but I don't worry unless they go below 55% or above 70%. Cigars are far tougher than most folks give them credit for.
