I just read it that he'll call when he gets back into town. He just didn't have a specific date in mind for returning to town. I suspect he does have a specific date in mind for returning to work. Two different things. I never know when my therapist is going to return to town from vacation. At most, he tells me when he is returning to work. I don't expect he would make business phonecalls though until he was back in town and done with the traveling part of his vacation, whenever that ended. He may return three days before he goes back into the office, or he may return the night before he goes back into the office. Either way, he apparently won't make business phone calls until he's back home where he can access his numbers, messages, etc.
