Coming out of the Hard Rock turn right and walk or catch a taxi to the end of that road. It then turns away from the beach. Go past a big brick wall on your left and you will come across some stalls. Garlic Lane is the first lane on your right and Ketuts is about 5 shops in. She has a sign above her shop. As soon as we turned the corner one of the other vendors asked us if we wanted Ketut and showed us where she was anyway. Her prices where great. Boardshorts 35000, Singlets 15 - 20000, dresses about 40000, wallets between 40 and 80000, towels 35000, t shirts 30 - 50000. She even gives you an icy cold bottle of water to drink while you are shopping.
With the online check in, just go to the website during the 24 hours before you leave (I think we got an email reminding us to do it) You have to have access to a printer and you print out your boarding passes. On arrival at the airport my husband dropped us off as we had to park at the overflow. We went inside and saw the long queue but also saw the line for those who had checked in online. That line was empty and as we didn't want to make a fool of ourselves we just hung back and watched what happened while we waited for my husband. Finally another couple came and looked at both the lines and I saw they where holding the printed boarding passes. They walked into the separate line and dropped off their bags straight away so when my husband got there we did the same thing. So easy.
