Off to Palermo on a stormy evening

I missed my first flight...lots of drama...but I was able to reschedule and I was on my way. Bothe flights were delayed but I made sure I was not going to miss this flight. I always purchase "speedy booking" as it allows you to get on first and they have prioritized check in and seats. Easyjet is like Southwest...cheap and crappy service....but, it is inexpensive and they fly all over europe. 
As usual, I WAY over packed. It is a problem for me everytime. I need to work harder at being minimal. I came from hoarders and over collectors. It's in my DNA. 
I take my seat...everyone is shuffling around as some people are split up. A 20 something girl sat next to me with her boyfriend. They were both Italian and I gather flying home form a vaca in France. I know this as they were looking at their photos. 
How fun would it be to tale a less than 2hr flight over to France and work the Cannes film festival as a waitress or runner with your boyfriend and have days out to go to the beach....or at least, this is where my imagination led me.
However, the girl had on what could only be described as bra top that left her entire long stomach exposed. She has low hanging jeans that were kinda cool, but I couldn't believe she was dressed like that.
Gone are the days when people dressed nicely to fly. but...I digress.
The flight was quick...less than 2 hours. I could vaguely see the rocky coastline of Sicily and the sun was low so the light was beautiful.
The airport was very small. They bussed us to the old terminal and I waited for my HUGE bag. You could hear the bags coming from far away as the place was so flimsy. 
I grabbed my bag and headed out to find the car service that was picking me up. I include the photo of the cart that is old and rusty as that is all of them. There is a sign for paying for them, but I think they gave up on that too.
