First Tour - Self Contained

Hi everyone,

I'm about to try my first self contained tour. This is my current plan. Please tell me what won't work.

The tour:
The tour will be a short (1 week) one. Boston to Niagara Falls. I'm planning on mostly camping and not cooking but simply dining out for dinners and snacking at convenience stores.

The bike:
My commuter bike is a Specialized Tri Cross

The gear:
My bike is outfitted with a Gary Fisher Interchange rear rack. No front rack yet.
I've got 2 Arkel XM28 panniers.

I think this might not give me the carrying capacity I'm gonna need for the essentials (tent, thermarest, sl. bag, clothing and such). Does anyone have an opinion or advice?

Thanks
Danny
