First, I would have to side with the parents on this one. While you're in Europe, enjoy the sights and sounds of a new continent. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most people, and a chance to really enjoy something away from the keyboard. Trust me, the regret of spending your time in Europe glued to a keyboard and monitor instead of taking in what that amazing part of the world has to offer will stick with you for a very long time.

So, what would you say in this situation to convince your parents to let you bring a laptop with you overseas?
