Congrats on the find! Totally no rush to repot it before the vacation - many people would say no need to even repot after. The ideal time to repot, if it needs it, would be in late spring or early summer. Some people like to repot into their favorite mix soon after getting a new plant, so that they know how to water properly, but carnosa types are so tolerant of wide range of soils and watering styles that I do not even know if you need to repot at all - not before next spring for sure, I'd say. You can pop it out of the pot and see if the roots look healthy though, and only repot if they don't.

Thanks, greentoe! I used to repot African Violets immediately because the soil was always so bad. Sansevieria usually wait for repotting until they push out the sides of the pot. I will go on vacation and not worry that my new hoya might need new dirt. It can wait. :-)
