Don't discount the idea of marshalling. No experience required, just a quick online course and you will be well looked after. If interested pop in to the Marshals place in the paddock and have a chat.

And because I do want to be mobile, is the Go Card the way to get around? Can they be purchased upon arrival there or better to order now and have it shipped this way?

Soz, I forgot to come back and see what was happening. Apologies.

The local public transport system is operated by the Government apart from taxis.

About 37 days to go......So, I've traveled to South Africa two years ago and used both debit and credit card with ease, and really with minimal fees. And if I needed any Rands (So. African currency) ATM worked just fine, too. I assume things will be similar for I of M and acquiring British Pounds? Again, any advice on this and any other topic, send my way.....

I've never had a problem withdrawing cash for the ATM, I used to take cash, wrapped up & hidden, just in case. These days I carry minimal cash & use the card virtually all the time. 
Then again I only live about a mile from Douglas (not counting a boat journey!    😆)
