4 countries in 3 hours

There are no games in the Cup today so we are going to attempt to be in 4 countries in a span of 3 hours and conduct meaningful transactions in each of them. We will start here in Germany and drive to Luxembourg. Since Luxembourg is a banking center, we will exchange some $ for euros. Then we will drive to Belgium and have afternoon coffee/tea with some Belgian chocolates - what Belgium is famous for. After our chocolate fix, we will drive south to France and have dinner there either in Metz or Thonville. We cannot think of many places in the world where you can do the same (i.e be in four different countries in three hours). Can you?

    I've got one -- Egypt, Israel and Jordan -- if you can get through the check points and border control within 3 hours. Love, Margaret

    Late submission to my earlier post -- I'm adding Saudi Arabia -- making it 4 (not 3) countries in 3 hours! Margaret

    And I think MY Michael lives a life of luck and luxury! You guys with all your international travel are really living the life. I hope those kids realize their good fortune! Especially while us Moms hold down the fort and earn the BIG BUCKS!
    Tschuss!

    Margaret, you are right. It would be possible in an ideal world to travel from Saudi Arabia to Aqaba, Eilat and Taba in probably less than 90 minutes - if there was no border control.

    How about 4 states in three hours: Vermont, Mass, NY and CT? And Kenda says add NJ. Possibly also NH. Cathy
