One of the Beechcraft Twin models are really nice. You can find several here in the Props section.
But if you're going for a bit longer range, use he default 777. Or even better, look up one of the MelJet 777s.

How about the Vintage section here at SimV. You should find some good open cockpit planes there.
As far capabilities goes I think you need a balance between range and landing field capabilities.
There are heaps of planes to choose from and whatever you choose you'll enjoy the experience. ;D

Red on White you're alright.

Red on Red you'll soon be dead.

Well, even though it's not an open pit, I'd definitely recommend Lindberg's Ryan NYP.  At least you know that this is one prop which should handle the trans-oceanic aspects of your journey!
Great edit, Bob.

i am using a pucara for my round the US trip, Currently in ohio.
its a good twin prop with quite a high top speed for longer portions of your trip where theres nothing to see.
