Lost Comms

My concern is the DESCENT component of the lost comms procedure. So just to clarify. If I lost my comms in the cruise lets say FL340. I will continue as per Flight Plan at FL 340 to the destination navaid if there was one and then descend from FL340 to an appropriate altitude at the appropriate time over the navaid and then position to fly an approach.

It seems a bit ridiculous descending in a holding pattern from FL340 to an approach altitude and then positioning for the approach.
