We are looking forward to a 2 week stay in early June and wondered if anyone knows where to purchase a telescope to use during our stay (and take home, of course) Thanks!
Hello Sheryl,
Which island are you visiting?
--Islander
Sorry, not to mention it - STT. We have a house on Cabrita Point which seems like it would be an excellent place to do some stargazing. Any ideas?
Thanks for asking!

Sheryl: There is a place in Wharfside Village St John that sells telescopes and camera equipment. I have never seen them on St Thomas, but you could call Royal Caribbean as they have lots of techie toys...
Hello Sheryl,
Royal Caribbean and Boolchands was where I was thinking as well - but I called both; and both said they do not carry telescopes.
East Ender do you recall the name of the shop on St. John?
--Islander
Islander: You checked the Yellow Pages, too, huh? I have NO idea of the name and can't find anything listed.... It is right next to the spice place, down the hall from the old Pusser's/Wahoo...They sell, but don't service, telescopes- have a couple of nifty ones on display....
Thanks for your help - we'll check it out in 16 days!!
Just a guess...but would they have any at the K Mart? A lot of the K Mart type stores stateside usually sell telescopes, although not the highest quality but could possibly be adequate.
