PFD Cayman 2004: The Night Before

I was more than a bit surprised when it turned out that the people delegated to pick me up at the airport were the athletes themselves. I landed on Grand Cayman in the early evening after a flight from Miami that took less time than my drive to the airport had, and expected to find a taxi driver with my name on a hand-lettered sign waiting outside Customs.
Instead, Mandy Rae Cruickshank and Martin Stepanek pulled up in a white van, Mandy at the wheel.
"Paul !"
"Hey."
"Hi"
"Hello"
Matter of fact. As if they were co-workers picking me up from the bus station. No big. Why in the world have they, of all people, driven out to fetch me ?
"Everybody else is at a big meeting", explained Mandy as she drove away, taking delight in splashing through the puddles in the road. " Rained hard today".
