For touring i really like the Specialized Infinity in a 700x(28-32) or Specialized Nimbus Elites (Armadillo) in 700x(28-42). For the days you know you will just be road riding, Bontrager Race Lite Hardcase tires.
Emrgency Pump, Tube, saddle or handlebar bag to keep some eats while your pedaling, and the drive to want to go. That is it.
