Tegucigalpa×La Habana
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Tegucigalpa uses the HNL (L) and La Habana uses the CUC ($). Conversations can stay in Spanish, which is official in both countries. Cars drive on the right in both, so rentals feel familiar.

There are 6 hours where both cities are inside a 09:00–17:00 workday. Aim for the middle of that window so neither side is starting or closing out.
