Went to Paris a few years ago and went to the national French military museum because I’m that guy, where the tomb of Napoleon is also located.

There was a fee for the museum itself, and another one to see Napoleon’s tomb.

It just made me reflect and how here in DC we’d never consider charging people for our public museums or charge people to go see say, JFK’s grave at Arlington. Would be antithetical to us.

I did a BWI international trip where I connected at JFK and it was such a PITA vs just doing direct at IAD. Big difference is on the way back…it’s so much better to be able to disembark at your airport of entry into the USA vs going through customs and then having to go through check in again.
