Hey, I should add that I totally get having a fondness for a bike that we spent a lot of time on, with great memories. Just be aware of the real shortcomings of a road bike from this era for touring.
If it's bike touring that appeals, many other bikes will make the experience more enjoyable.
if it's very much a nostalgia thing, on flat areas and short distances, with very little stuff, you could try this, but it won't change the fact that its a flexy racing frame designed for a light rider only, with tall gearing, and you could also be 20 or 60lbs heavier than back in the day too, so I guess just be realistic about stuff if you want to try it out.
good luck
