For those who have the luxury of retirement from career employment with handsome separation bonus package, the urge that drive the first post-retirement overseas trip should be the long overdue opportuniy to have fun together with the other beloved you and them. It would be utter egocentric to have discourse to one's inner self then, to the ignorance of the feelings and emotions of others around one.
Cultivate relationships, enhance communications, and share memorable moments while on trips. Meditate and self reflect in a quiet and natural environment, where transcending self far from the maddening crowd is enabled.
