My Favourite Part of My Last Vacation

++ Reflecting on my favourite day from my last holiday, and why that is +
+ +What was your favorite part of your last vacation?
+My favourite part of my last vacation [1] was going on a diving trip to the Mercury Islands, off the coast of Whitianga.
+Not just because they were two great dives - best I've had in New Zealand by far, with masses of demoiselle[2], moray eels, a crayfish, a great buddy, funny and friendly crew, and interesting sites.
+The reason this day was my favourite is because I went on a dive trip with people I love.
+Sure, the other three snorkelled, while I dived, but that didn't matter at all.
+It was seeing them happy, being happy with them, and having us all together, out there on the boat, in the real world, doing this adventurous thing, doing something I love to do, in a far flung spot, with other people who also love those things.
+It was the togetherness that made it special, combined with the activity itself.
+Getting out on the water is good.
+Getting out on the water with my loved ones is fantastic.
