Your insurance should cover you in Europe. It would be a good idea to stick shades on the headlights to stop dazzling oncoming traffic.
2 :
you need insureance that covers you abroad... apart from that you legally must: have a GB sticker on your car... have light dimming stickers on your headlights carry a first aid kit have reflective jackets for everyone in the car trust me you can get in a lot of trouble if you get pulled over and you dont have them...
3 :
a UK licence will do, and valid insurance, as far as paperwork is concerned. You must have the reflecting strips on the lights or you will be illegal driving in the dark. You must also have a GB sticker on your car (assuming your'e driving a UK registered car)
4 :
If you drive straight off the ferry you will be on the wrong side of the road in Holland!
5 :
The official advice is as follows: Paperwork: > A valid full driving licence, with paper counterpart if you have a photocard licence > The original vehicle registration document > Your motor insurance certificate (ensuring it covers driving in the EU - Green card) > Your passport For general info the AA site has a really good reference page per country - here's the link for NL http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/touring_tips/AA_Netherlands.pdf Equipment: As mentioned there are some mandatory requirments > GB sticker (unless you have the newer EU licence plate with it standard) > Reflective jacket/waistcoat is not mandatory for NL but advisable of course. It is only mandatory for Italy, Spain, Portugal, Austria and Croatia. > Headlight stickers to adjust the beam > Warning Triangle is officially "recommended" in NL

maybe some type of side dish or dessert to impress and show your cooking skills.

Try to go for something for her home, that way it will tie you in as family. Maybe something as simple as a nice photograph of you and him together in a nice frame. Ask your boyfriend what she likes and try to go from there. Perhaps there is something else of meaning to you and your boyfriend that you could share with her to make her feel like you want her to be a part of your lives together. As far as the card goes, depending on what you choose, you can write something along the lines of, Looking forward to becoming a part of your family. Or, Glad to have finally met my new found mom. Something nice yet suttle. Good luck! And like I said try to get your boyfriend to clue you in on her likes and dislikes so you can get something that will say Hello nice to finally meet you!

A gift for your future mother in law? A gag and earplugs. Start as you mean to go on.......

Walmart?

Not many shops employ 14 year olds, at most a supermarket where you can stock shelves. As to summer jobs, keep an eye on the local papers and bother some of the local temp agencies like randstad, manpower, those kinda places.

Which passport you have? its an European passport? is so then you do not need a permit to work and live in the european union. If you don't hold an EUROPEAN PASSPORT , You can get a work permit that allow you to work 20 hours a week if you go to the university there. Or if your have a degree you can post your CV to an employer in Holland/germany/france and if he want you he could ask the immigration to supply you a permit. The employer need to ask for a permit for you, not you, and he will have to prove the government that there are not alot of skilled people like you in his country and thats the reason hes bringing you rom another country.
