At first (since I was groggy from the early phone call) I thought he was talking about our vacation plans, so I said that yes, we were going to London on vacation next week. He then repeated that my mission call was to London.

So that's how I got my mission call. I went to London on vacation and then returned 6 weeks later as a missionary.
why would you have a farewell scheduled before you knew when you were to report to the MTC?
