At least in Thailand, most beach bars have both wifi and power outlets these days. Even on small islands, they have surprisingly good satellite Internet.

Even on a Macbook Air, the screen is bright enough for me to code during the day (in the shade). As a bonus, you have an unlimited supply of alpha testers for whatever you create!

What's your total monthly expenditure including shelter, food, drink, entertainment, supplies, travel, insurance, upkeep, etc.?

Airs still have TN panels, just get the cheapest 13" Pro and enter a different world of display quality (source: I own both of them).

Can you spare a moment to educate me about the panels (what, how different, which machines)? (I've got a 2011 15in MBP - last of the models one could maintain oneself, so am keeping it alive as long as poss)

You should be fine, MBPs have had IPS panels for a long time IIRC. It's mainly about viewing angles, colour reproduction, and brightness.
