Congrats to you for retirement.. and a worthwhile endeavor..
do more than just getting the "endorsement", take the full FAA Checkride..
you can carry pax that way.. with an endorsement (61.31(d)(2)) you cannot

You may also have trouble finding a CFIG who is willing to give you an
unrestricted solo endorsement.
