Caleb and I stepped out of the elevator with Zack and Cody and all of us walked into the lobby where Uncle Marion was having an issue with his computer. We were docked in India and Cody planned a trip on Mount Kanchenjunga to find some yoga master. He invited Caleb and me along since we wanted to check out India and try the cuisine. And Zack joined us because he thought he'd find some girl named Nirvana on top of the mountain. Whenever I hear Nirvana, I think of the band and the song 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'!

"Cody! Marley!" Uncle Marion called us over to the reception desk just seconds after the computer itself made a shutting off noise randomly, "Look, I have 300 guests coming on board in India and my computer keeps shutting down."

"That sounds like every girl after Cody talks to them," Zack smirked making Cody, Caleb and I frown at him.

"Sorry, I wish I could help," Cody apologized, "But, Zack, Marley, Caleb and I are off on a trek up Mount Kanchenjunga, the 4th highest mountain in the world. After Everest, K2 and the pile of dirty laundry in Zack's cabin."

"So that's what that stenching smell was!" I exclaimed pointing at Zack.

"Might consider scheduling a laundry day once a week," Caleb suggested.

"Anyway, we're off on a search for the world's preeminent yoga master, Swami Banu Kapatu. I've studied his sachties, memorized his mantras, contemplated his cumbaca," Cody added.

"I looked him on the web! He wears a funny hat," Zack grinned.

I rolled my eyes.

"Cody I find it admirable that you're pursuing spiritual enlightenment. Marley, Caleb I'm sure that's the reason you two are going," Uncle Marion smiled at us.

"Oh we're just tagging along to see the Indian culture and trying the cuisine," I added.

"And also to look for the local fauna there," Caleb jumped in.

My uncle nodded at us and turned to Zack, "Zack, why the heck are you going?"

"Cody says we're gonna find Nirvana. I bet she's hot!" Zack smirked and walked away.

He's so stupid. I thought.

"We're gonna tell him Nirvana's not a girl after we reach the top of the mountain," Cody explained.

Uncle Marion smiled and nodded as the three of us left.



We finally got to the top of the mountain and arrived in what appeared to be either an ancient temple or monastery. 

"Whoa! That was the most invigorating climb of my life!" Cody exclaimed with a smile as Caleb and I were both trying to catch our breath from that killer hike.
