Yes, I guess I want to continue stay in contact with the world and 
maintain my webpages...

a domestic airport would do, if it's sufficiently connected to an 
international airport.

not necessarily. But it would be nice to have hills in the reach...

yes.

well, I loved Indian climate, no matter what, but in Kodaikanal I 
didn't like the monsoon season. I don't want to retire on a hill 
station, that's for sure. Because also point 4 wouldn't be covered 
then.

An interesting list. It'll take some time to dig through these 
locations and get to know more...
