Jamerican1,
I don’t think you’re being silly at all but given the conditions on the day you want to travel and remember you are also on JA time unless you are driving yourself it could take what seems like forever. Having done the Ocho to Negril thing before you are taking a chance on losing a day, I know I did. When you compare how much there is to do in Negril with Ocho; Ocho comes up a little short. Feb will be my 15th time to Negril and I’m still discovering new places and things to do. If you have tried Ocho and liked the Jamaican vibe there, then you will love Negril. Walk good!
