I am just giving you some advice, as to training. I came back to cycling a 57, for touring and camping exploits. I trained for about 3 months, mainly to get use to being back in the saddle. Then took off on a 5000km trip. I realised then, that I really did not need to train as hard as I had been doing in those 3 months. You just get better and better, each day on the road. I would if I was you, to get out and do some smaller tours, overnighters, and maybe a week here and there, just to get use to doing day rides back to back. That is what helps you the most on big tours.
