(Packing sucks when you gotta make SPAM musubi in the early morn, and make sure water bottles are filled because no more soda! Juice and water!!! [xx(] And, I'm worried, so packing toilet paper, hand wipes, and Purell. Sorry. OMG.
From another perspective (Austrian/German), "Edelweiss" from the movie, "Sound of Music" (a favorite!!!), is a beautiful flower.
Small and white, green and bright, you look happy to meet me....blossom of snow may you bloom and grow, bloom and grow, forever...Edelweiss, Edelweiss, bless my homeland forever"....
The Hawaiian version, performed by, "Ho'okena", we appreciate all cultures, and their flowers. Bless our homelands forever.

Mahalo ke Akua.
JMO.
ETA: Now last one, promise. (Packing almost pau) Aunty Emma DeFries was, and is, one of the true Kahunanui of our ohana. As I stress out about packing, this one comes on the "Pandora list". Hoailona.
E Ku'u Sweet Lei Poina'ola. (The original version was the only time our Kahunanui was recorded singing her song. Mahalo, Aunty Emma. Mai Poina'ole (we will never forget).
