I actually waited a week and then answered their questions (pretty damn nice itinerary I gave them tbh). I didn't give them any personal info of course. Never got to the bikini pics and just blocked them.

You wanna share that itinerary with some of us other, non-scammer folks from away?

I won't even send nudes!

Hahaha! The perfect tour guide: itineraries for noodz! Or, depending on the person, itineraries for a guarantee of NO noodz

I can't get the exact text back since I blocked them, but they said they were going to be here a month, so I gave them Maine for Dummies:

First, spend some time in Portland, try the restaurants if you're a foodie, visit the lighthouses and Old Orchard Beach and anything else that strikes your fancy.

Next, Acadia National Park.

From there, take your pick: either head further up Route 1 to the Bold Coast area in Washington County; beautiful and much less crowded than Acadia. Or, head inland to Moosehead Lake or the Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument; the latter is mostly unimproved so best be driving a 4x4. If you're up for it, visit Baxter State Park and climb Katahdin.

(I didn't get to the Rangeley area and I honestly wouldn't know what to tell anyone to visit in Aroostook.)

That's great! I appreciate the tips!

I was very briefly in Ogunquit last Thanksgiving and popped into Portland and stopped in Kennebunk and Old Orchard Beach along the way there and back but Portland is as far up the coast we had time for. 😢

We were supposed to move there this Autumn but we had to change plans when my sister got cancer and we landed in Texas, instead.

We have Maine in our sights but we've spent so much moving, supporting my sister & her treatment, we're looking at potentially another year before we can move out there, so we'll just have to make do with visiting.

I'm very sorry about your sister; I hope things go well for her.

Me too. She's supposed to be getting surgery soon but we have to wait a bit for insurance to approve and scheduling etc.

But it's hopeful! 2022 has been a stupid year.
