Tourney circuit travel expenses?

[PokerPaul]

For any regular tourney circuit pros here (Fossilman?), id like to know the aproximate cost of travel, hotel and food is if one were to play about 75% of the 10k events around North America and the Carrebean.

Nothing too fancy, just a regular hotel (holiday Inn), regular discount economy flights, and as for food, not sure if that gets comped at the casinos or extra expense.

Furthermore, i suppose if you declare yourself a pro poker player this is tax deductable?
