I'm planning a trip and wanted to know if I'd be able to go around the whole island and visit the major destinations spots in about 10 days. If you've been there, where and what would you suggest to go and do? Right now I'm thinking of staying in the Negril region.

Jamaica is 10,991km or 4244 ml and is 150 miles in length east to west and is 50 mls at its widest north to south,and that land mass that i gave you earlier dose not include its miniature islands that surround it.total coast line approx; 1,010 km. the roads are in a very good condition when your on the main and secondary systems,so going around the island in ten days won't
be a problem,the problem is, are the 10 days enough to explore the island.
The entertainment is good for the night, depending on were you'll be on a given night on the north coast.
There are a lot of sides to Jamaica, the most popular section is the north coast,especially in Negril were there is a seven mile strip of beach , brilliant sunsets, great entertainment, and restaurants,activities include scuba diving,snorkeling and diving from the top of a spectacular cliff, and much more.
but few travelers also realise that the swamp lands also has the worlds only Royal palm trees which exist no were else on the planet.
Montego bay is the islands tourism hub the most hotel rooms,choices in entertainment if you wish to share with the locals,and excursions by a number of tour operators that offer their services,to other sections of the island north coast and interior,whether it be canopy rides above the forest floor,or river tubing,or exploring great houses,or chilling at the beach (doctors cave beach).they can hook you up by you making a reservation,with travel agent.
Ochi rios,gives you a more laid back appraoch,from beach to a 600 foot water falls called,Duns river,the largest in the English speaking caribbean,or visit Bob Marleys(reggae super star,late artist) resting place in 9miles, St Anns interior,some 20 odd miles south west ot St Ann's bay,but this part consist mainly of river trecking and hiking experiences.
Furhter east lies the countries last stands of untouch rain forest in the un disturb parish of, Portland with its Jerk chicken and etc,Mountains which are the highest 2256 m or 7402 ft,the islands mighties river which is good for rafting,Rio grande.
Then there is the south coast with all its glory and natural aspect far from the fast pace life that you will notice on the north coast,try visiting Mandeville,Blue fields,for there laid back surroundings and for the sunset blue fields and some good steam fish at a sea side restuarant,trust me,its good.
There are so many things to do and see,i dont know if i can name them all,just too much.go and see for yourself and enjoy.

It's not that big if you think about it. It will take you a day or two to travel and visit all the places, but driving around the island takes most of the day, depending on traffic and other "reasons"

10,991km. Negil is a good choice, try Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Portland, DUNN'S RIVER FALLS (it's wonderful) You can travel around the Island in ten days, but i assure you that when you get there,you will be sorry you only book ten days. Anyways the people there are amazingly WONDERFUL, and you might find your self addicted to that beautiful Island. Best wishe son your Vacation!!!!!

it really depends where you are flying from (ie New york or boston they would most like use a airbus (depending on the airline) or a 757 (depending on passenger load, but from Miami they could use a small plane (737 or 727) or maybe a regional jet (again depending on the passenger load and airline) Jet blue is that one that has airbus and tvs at your seat
