This is Magical Mythology
with Ebony Hance
Hello there and welcome to "Magical Mythology".
Your one stop blog with all the necessary facts, quizzes and lore you need, to scratch that Percy Jackson itch! If you love Percy Jackson and are passionate about Greek mythology, you've come to the right place!
Last letter l gave you some pointers about coming to camp halfblood and tips about what it is that you should be packing to bring with you on your trip here.
By this point I think its fair to assume that you have discovered that you are a demigod and are either on your way to us, or will be leaving shortly to come to camp. Now that you know some good things to bring along with you, I think its a good idea to discuss your travel plan options.
Now, not all of us are lucky enough to own a pair of winged sneakers to fly on over here, but you do have some options regarding how you're going to get yourself to camp.
1) satyr/ deity escort - If you're lucky enough to have a satyr or a deity show up to escort you along on your journey, lucky you! You get to arrive at camp half blood the good old fashioned way! Oh and by old fashioned way, I mean on foot with a satyr leading the way and maybe a monster or two chasing you closely behind! Either way, you have a great navigator to get you here and with the added motivation of the monsters chasing here, you'll definitely make good time on your trip and get here in a timely fashion! I'm all for cutting travel time down by half! Plus you dont need a passport to get past the magical barriers on the way!
3) Solo backpacking - Look, I'll be honest, hitchhiking solo to get to camp probably isn't the best idea, especially since there is the possibility that you may have an unexpected travel companion join you who really just is a monster in disguise. BUT hey! Adventure is out there right? As long as you pack up some survival gear and a dozen weapons or so and remember NOT to let the cute little "puppy" that started following you sleep in your tent.., this could be a fun way to get to camp.
4) Group trip! - Let's face it! Traveling with friends is always more fun! Syncing up with other demi-gods who are also on their way to camp half blood is a great idea! Not only will you have good company and meet some pretty cool new friends and maybe even siblings, but you also can sing road trip songs at the top of your lungs, have a mini army to fight off any monsters who may try to eat you...and splitting the bill for snacks and gas isn't such a bad thing either!
5) Hermes Express Postal Service - Okay so hear me out...this way is a little bit more unconventional, but if you mail yourself to camp via this very same Postal Service that I am sending this letter to you all by, not only will you save a fortune on travel fees, but you also get a pretty cool stamp to keep AND you get to meet the legendary Hermes himself!
6) Take the Chariot of Damnation. - Hold on to your suitcases! Oh an maybe your hair too... if you don't feel like arriving via post you can also use the Gray sister's taxi service to get yourself to camp. If you are in New York and you want to go old school and simply just call a cab, just throw a drachma on the road, say "Stêthi 'Ô hárma diabolês" ("Stop, Chariot of Damnation") and hey presto! You've got yourself a ride! It may not be the best looking one, but it is definitely the fastest way to get to camp and your drivers are definitely not at all concerned about the speed limits!
(Let me know in the comments below!)
On that note, if you suspect that you are one of us, I highly encourage you to make your way to camp. We here at Camp Half-Blood will be waiting with open arms.
Looking forward to seeing you all at camp! Safe travels and may the gods guide your path.
Until next time,

2) Get a family member or a friend to drop you off. - okay this way is a little bit less exciting, but you do get the advantage of traveling at your leisure and enjoying the views and road trip with your travel companions. Plus making them think that you are being responsible and have a job working at a strawberry farm isn't a bad thing at all!
3) Solo backpacking - Look, I'll be honest, hitchhiking solo to get to camp probably isn't the best idea, especially since there is the possibility that you may have an unexpected travel companion join you who really just is a monster in disguise.

You've got yourself a ride! It may not be the best looking one, but it is definitely the fastest way to get to camp and your drivers are definitely not at all concerned about the speed limits!
7) Magical portals and gateways - There are also some greek deities who have created some portals and gateways that lead directly to camp, just for your convenience! If you get car sick or dont fancy the long hike to camp halfblood, locate one of these portals and you can use it to travel directly to the camp's location, without having to get in all that cardio!
So there you have it! Several ways to get to camp half blood to make your travel plans just a little bit easier! How did you travel to camp? Please do feel free to write back to me and let me know! I'd love to hear all your travel stories and adventures!(Let me know in the comments below!)
On that note, if you suspect that you are one of us, I highly encourage you to make your way to camp. We here at Camp Half-Blood will be waiting with open arms.
