Last week, I started something new. Well, new for The Bulkhead Seat at least. I began creating weekly recaps to encapsulate all of the news, reviews, offers, and more covered on this site. I’ve seen this done by many other blogs that I admire and thought that it was time that I joined the party. I was in Corfu (Greece) and Sarande (Albania) this week and had some fun in the sun. I’ve already started sharing flight, lounge, and hotel reviews and will have more over the next week or so. Have a great weekend!
