Newbie questions

Hi every one, thanks in advance for your help. I am going to do a 5 day tour from Marin County to Cambria for the Eroica CA weekend with some friends. I haven't done any touring since 1978 when I had paniers and a rack. We have lodging arranged, and everything I need at the Cambria end will be transported down by my SO via car.

this is what I was thinking for my set up. 2 5.5 L dry bags on the forks, and a small (3.4 L) triangle bag as my main storage. A top tube bag for things I need at hand, and a handlebar bag for my DSLR. I also have a feed bag along side my stem to hold a long lens. I am a bit worried about water availability on part of the route, and I have tried to ride dehydrated a couple of times this year to great sorrow. So I have used some Wolf tooth adapters to rig 3 bottles in the main triangle and one under the down tube.
OK, here is what I don't know... Is this too much, not enough, or just right. I figure I need some tools, 2 sets of kit, toiletries, sandals or shoes for off bike, shorts, shirt for off bike, jackets, etc. All comments and suggestions welcome.
