Some ideas:

If "we" is supposed to be just you and the sister, use "mi'o", not
"ma'a". You probably don't want a third party "mingling" with you up
there. :)

"Among the stars" should be "se ru'u lo tarci", but that unfortunately
is currently ungrammatical. I don't think "va lo tarci" works, with
any of the uses of "va". If you don't want to break the rules with "se
ru'u", you can use "fi'o sruri lo tarci".

Instead of the to...toi parenthetical I would personally go with
something like "fau lo nu lo mi'o ruxse'i cu ... kei".
