Anyone know of a Visa or Mastercard that charges less than 3
% for charges made in other countries (ie while on vacation)?

I know just two issuers who do not charge anything on top of 1% Visa/Mastercard charge - MBNA and Farm Bureau Bank. I am sure there are more.
I was in Europe a couple of months ago, and I like the statement I received from FBB. Besides the usual line describing the transaction, there is a bunch of numbers on the second line. There's the currency number, the amount of the purchase in local currency, and the exchange rate. I was there right around the time euro was introduced, and some merchants already listed euro as "local currency", others listed the pre-euro currencies. Posted prices and receipts always included the euro price, though.
