We decided that when I was 60 I would retire and use the lump sum part of my pension, plus savings, to go to Australia via Singapore, hire a camper van and spend a month travelling round the country, visit New Zealand for a week or two then come home via Hong Kong. As it was, my husband died a month after we made the tentative plans so it was not to be.

That's so sad. It does make you realise that you should sieze the day, money, time, and numerous other things willing.
Perhaps you'll still make the trip, with your husband there in spirit with you.
