I also have a pair of Eddie Bauer pants that are very light weight and would be good for off the bike. Trying to decide whether to bring them as well or just stick with one pair of pants the entire ride. Of course most of the time I will be in shorts
I'd be inclined to not worry too much about if you end up taking both. Only you know what is more comfortable for you for given riding temps, I know with me I just like having the hiking type pants for off bike non bikey look, plus being not tight, mosquitoes won't get me through them if I just have my tights on. Some places the bugs can be horrible.
As you say, the majority of time you'll be in bike shorts.
All the best with this final decision, but most importantly have a great adventure.
