How have you guys determined what direction you’ve gone?

Sure. And my earlier answer to the thread was that I had no concrete plan. I just fooled around and did what I thought would be fun. It may not be the "funnest", but if it is good enough, I am OK. My "why not Malaga" question was tongue-in-cheek.

Too much debating among the choices can take away the fun of it. I subscribe to the theory of Barry Schwartz: "The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less", 2004.

My advice would be to keep your options open. Don't tie yourself down for a few years. Your wants, desires, and preferences could well change over during your first year or two of retirement.
