A Poker Vacation

For many of the players that travel around the world to play poker tournaments, the trips serve a dual purpose: potential income generation and vacation. Casey Kastle has been planning his Philippines vacation at the table in between hands by consulting a Lonely Planet guidebook on the Philippines. Kastle is planning to stay in the Philippines after the tournament is over, getting outside of the city and "seeing the things you're supposed to see" -- volcanoes, beaches, resorts and everything else that the Philippines offers.

Kastle commented that he finds it very difficult (and very tiring) to travel from place to place solely to play poker and then leave. He said it's just not his way. So rather than fly in to Manila for the tournament and fly out when it's over, just to return to this side of the world in two weeks for the APPT Grand Finale at Sydney, Kastle is planning a relaxing sight-seeing excursion around the many islands of the Philippines.
