In the new job I told them I would start in 2 weeks, I feel kind of guilty, they dont expect my resigning letter at all but I really wanna change jobs.

Feeling loyal to your old company is a good thing. Giving them at least 2 weeks notice is very fair- it doesn't matter if your boss is off for one of those weeks.

People find better opportunites all the time, never fell guilty about that. As long as you are respectful and give them at least 2 weeks notice you never need to feel bad. Good luck in your new position.

dont feel guilty and give your immediate supervisor and boss the letter next time you work
people change jobs all the time, just do what you need to do and work the remaining 2 weeks like normal to keep some good references
if your boss is out of town then email him and attach your resignation letter - be sure to contact HR if your company has one

Yes, it is still OK. You are really only obligated to give them 2 weeks notice at most. Since your boss is gone, go to Personnel or to your Boss's Boss and give WRITTEN NOTICE to them.
People leave jobs and go to new better jobs all the time. Don't feel guilty ~ you are looking out after number 1. Just like the company you work for is looking out for themselves.

If you've committed to the new job you need to give your notice ASAP. Even if you boss if off, at least your HR department will have a heads up and will be ready to start recruiting for your replacement as soon as your boss returns. It may be inconvenient for your boss, but you're giving notice to your company, not your boss, so you're totally within your rights and have no reason to feel guilty.

Two weeks notice is standard, unless you made some other agreement. I did a similar thing once, and gave early notice because I felt badly for my employer. He ended up hiring a new person right away, and I wound up unemployed for a month. Never again. If this new job is a good opportunity, then take it, and have a good life.

It's OK. Give your resignation letter to whoever is in charge while your boss is off, if he's not at work on Monday.
