Retrobike Touring.

I'd missed the lack of rear lugs. Indeed it's often more lowly mid-range frames that actually make better tourers. A heavier tubeset that feels a little leaden becomes stable and accurate for a tourer. The shorter top tubes of non-race-orientated frames is also an advantage.

sure thing!
I'm not die-hard bikepacker, but ditching panniers from time to time is great!

I'm being dragged to Disneyland in June. I mean, yipee, I can not wait. Honest. When I get back I may take a couple of days out to bimble along the the Grand Union anal (the 'C' is quickly removed from the signs) and wild camp as the opportunity arises.
