In Reply to: New Years Eve arriving but beach rd shut posted by baliluv on Saturday, 24. December 2011 at 18:25 Bali Time:
because as you rightly say the beach road will be closed. I think if you follow the route I suggested to Hoolz (below) you will get through.
As for your care packages I think there are 3 options. Leave them behind and bring them next time. Investigate the possibility of luggage lockers at Denpasar airport. Pay a couple of likely lads on Jln Legian to help you carry them to your hotel.
Enjoy your stay whatever you dedide.
