It's a lemon form with a view amazing to Easter Island.

We call ourselves here to America's back roads. People just want to get out anywhere place go on the road again just ahead on Sunday morning, expanding our sites to a destination that's out of this world is what our David Pogue is all about when it comes to living in space.

Most of us will always be armchair travelers.

We would like to welcome you aboard the international space station. What does it smell like in there, especially when he first arrived. The mean human beings are smelly. When I first arrived I would say there was a noticeable sent in. It wasn't quite like a locker room later on Sunday morning a visit from space good morning CBS Sunday morning travel to the Lone Star State and you're in the neighborhood of former president George W. Bush's retirement is defined by bold and colorful strokes. Nora O'Donnell will pay him a visit. Welcome to my studio is a wonderful place. The painting is a wonderful place to hang out on these ranch deep in the heart of Texas former Pres. George W.

It's a Sunday morning for April 18, 2021 will be right back. No cove. It hasn't gone away and caution remains the order of the day. Still further, vaccinated, and those of us who soon will be ready set go. Looks like it's just around the corner in this Tracy Smith tells us in the race to book vacations. It's full speed ahead. It seems that if we've learned anything after a year of staying home. How much we like to get away and with the restrictions easy and more people vaccinated by the day. The travel bug is busting out all over National Geographic contributor Heather Greenwood Davis now that things are loosening up about what you see happening. We've seen the gray wave which is you know all of the people who were started over the age of 65 who are getting those vaccinations. First moment they got them, they took off they had all the resorts and beaches all to themselves. And now that the CDC is loosening the guidelines for the rest of American I think were about to see big travel boom people have been chomping at the bit to get out there and now that they have a chance. I think they'll go in there going all right. According to the TSA more than 1.5 million people pass through airport security. Last Sunday alone on the same day. Last year the number was less than 91,000 brave New World news travel editor Peter Greenberg says that by the summer. The skies could be as crowded as ever were sitting in airport.

This airport is not empty the syrup was a little play good civil suit available on the plane were back to the old days of airplanes being full every one right now is on parking their planes are thinking about storage by the middle of May. They will all be buccaneer. Of course, airline ticket prices might also be heading skyward after a year of some very discount how cheap did airline tickets get the got to the point of stupid a month ago a one-way fare from Las Vegas to New York nonstop on American was $90 today is $203. Next week will be to 78 and by three weeks well will be right back to 2019 will and here's the thing back in November and December. Where were they going with her going to visit Granny family trip know they were going anywhere they could get me out of here and that's really what veterans continuing people just want to get out anywhere place go and if your city based on tourism. Those travelers can keep going fast enough. Las Vegas Nevada is a place practically built on out-of-towners money. So last spring when travel dried up since city shut down and thousands of people like performers and I can shut out lost their livelihood and away overnight and that this is what Hamish looks like we are forming with the show palace but is what he looks like for most of last year stuck at home three weeks I was saying everyone everywhere except it was exactly yeah and two days later when we went, and is also a professional Acrobat at another show, but her performing days are on hold right now seven months pregnant. All right, so my next question about what you've been doing during the pandemic is I'm watching the plants grow. Later talk about watching something grow the brand-new West Hall edition of the Las Vegas convention center was started well before the pandemic and has yet to welcome a single convention here be a part of something Las Vegas convention and visitors Authority chief Steve Hill were you worried that this place would sit empty for a while. While these decisions are made without 30 or 40 or 50 year timeframe in mind, it was still the right decision to do it in the facts back them up in June. They'll host the first big convention since the shut down and they booked 30 more through the end of the year. Do you think you can come all the way back to not know Billy, the silly artist, but you definitely know the slogan team in the ad agency R&R and like most everyone else. We spoke with here. We will response back from and the reason is because rig uses need people, or they need to. This is the only place they completely lose themselves and transform into basically whatever they want is legal and people need that now maybe one never want to go to Vegas or anywhere else you might want to grab a reservation soon as Heather Greenwood Davis right now.

I've heard that Christmas travel booking is very difficult to get something for Christmas. I also know some hotels that you will be able to get anything unless you're looking for 2022. What are you so last definitely serve the PTC properties is a few that are definitely sold out.

She also says that if living well is the best revenge might be reason enough for some people to pack up and throw with a vengeance. Revenge.

Revenge travel is the idea that after a year of being at home. People are going to get back at the pandemic and actually get out there and live their best lives while traveling that's great like take that pandemic exactly right. So there going as far away as they cantered doing the things they've always dreamed of. The idea is we are going to live our best lives. We see how close we came to losing the opportunity to get out there. I am most frustrated of covert stay at homes, travel guru Rick Steve's Connor night and found him eager to get back on the road. I am Rick Steve's back with more of the best of Europe. I'm in Rome and this is the Ancient Appian Way, Europe first superhighway, Alona, where in Paris every summer. For decades Rick Steve's with his tour through your time where really on the Ed mysteries up and well documented in several PBS shows special replicated successful line of guidebooks, but over the course of this past year, a big trip for Steve's like this simple stroll through his hometown of Edmonds, Washington ever since. Covert cancel his travel plans.

He's mostly been staying inside practicing piano and exploring the foreign land that is his kitchen to make pasta. I never felt the joy of a knife cutting through a nice crispy onion you've never cut it on.

I have never cut an onion before, never appliances your discovery for the first time an open turn on the broiler Rick Steve's never learn much about domestic life was too busy traveling abroad after his first trip to Europe at 14 he was hooked return time and again eventually marketing his expertise in Empire of guidebooks and group tours now has his own line of suitcases travel wallets on display in his Edmonds headquarters close to the public back in March 2021 of those sales or sales are almost 0 and is understandable by 2020 was on track to be Steve's best year ever is covert it was forced to cancel all the stores. It's heartbreaking and is not heartbreaking because I'm losing all their money make money every year for 30 years to bet money this year, but 20,000 people dreaming saving planning trips of a lifetime taking their kids and their grandma all scuttled just breaks my heart.

Steve's sees himself as a teacher trip abroad is full of valuable lessons for Americans. To me, Europe is the wading pool for world exploration and my profit is not how much money I make. But it's how many Americans introduced to national travel help broaden your perspective course right now.

International travel is largely off-limits for American.

Steve's has stayed in teacher mode hosting lectures.

He's dubbed Monday night travel parties from his living room is. This is the scarf for Ann to be going to Spain momentarily even when things open back up Steve's doubts. His groups will be the first ones back the idea of travel.

The whole Rick Steve's Europe is the opposite of social distancing. I go to Paris to be just cheeks. I go to Rome together on the gaps in the passage all the people walking up and down the state together.

I go to Ireland publisher Guinness with somebody.

And so the whole trouble for me is the people that come back, but I'm to be patient.

In the meantime, Steve's made sure to hang on to all 100 of his employees stripping the staff is the right thing to do. Plus it's a smart thing to do. From a business point of you because whether it's an extra thereafter that were to come out of this in my stuff will be intact until Steve's is happy to keep enjoying the simple pleasures of life at home this my very first trip on my own. Reminiscing about past trips, finding new ways to connect with people from the porch, my trumpet has been in the dark 30 years and I pulled it out of its case and oiled it up, knowing that the all through the community, this little better better people clapping and whooping and just for that moment were all reminded that were together seeing the statues on Easter Island is something many travelers hope to do some day hearing an island song by one of its celebrated residents is what Kelly for Saturday can offer us right now concert pianist has traveled the world, we sometimes known as Easter Island is her home. It's a triangle shaped island, about the size of Washington DC but way out in the South Pacific and its best known for the statues, why scholars think they were built to honor the islands elders are all voyageurs and maybe my blood coming and going in the 1700s Dutch explorers came to rough and we they landed on Easter so they called it Easter Island strata. That's the English name Mickey Maki Howrah linguistic anthropologist at Queens College in New York has been studying Robin we culture for 30 years. Were talking about a place that's only been habited by humans for maybe a thousand years to buy, but a lot has happened in the late 19th century slave raiders from Peru abducted about half the islands population and left behind smallpox which killed many of the remaining Islanders holding 111 Robin we survive nowadays rapidly as part of Chile which is the closest mainland 2000 miles away. It's a remarkable history of survival and reconstruction those hundred and 11 people kept the language alive and transmitted it to the next generation to come back story behind the tail they was born in Hawaii to an American mother but her father is from rough and weak and she spent most of her childhood. There so strongly about everything. She still remembers the day she heard that someone had brought something new piano we get to the ladies house and he opened the door he even got that there were no piano teachers on sauté. They asked the woman who owned to give her lessons learned line. After a few days in 1992 tell his family moved to Chile where she could study at the conservatory. She was not scary time for you. It was very confusing when she was 19. She left to continue her studies in Berlin. Soon she was a celebrated concert so anyone did you always know you want to come back to Robin. We some point.

I always felt the connection to the return to Robin we decade ago and in 2014 she built the islands first music school totally self sustainable structure. Last year it was featured in the documentary song of Robin Newey.

The school was constructed using an abundant natural resource trash all over the world. This school garb is all about transformation, hoping to find the next great concert pianist on on Robin we need to really think it's important that they cultivate value when you persevere in teamwork before the pandemic. Some people on Robin we were concerned, tourism was damaging the now honey to face it, she's optimistic about day when visitors can come back happening people give them the next concert request from Robin. We left garbage and it's the this world destination.

That's reach for most of us, not for the pair are David Pogue's been chatting with five last November. My cop lover took a trip to hundred 50 miles away.capture complete international space station. We are looking forward to the next six months and can't wait to get started is my who also goes by I near the end of their mission. Nassau offered me a space nerd's dream come true.

Why video chat with Mike and Ike in space stations. David Pogue CBS Sunday morning.

David, we hear you loud and clear. You indicated that there is really no upper down so is there any reason that one of you couldn't turn down was not record your head Victor.

Not all not all. In fact, doesn't seem weird to me until I look at Hopper and the wise hopper upside down. I demonstrated how to get around just pushes off with his hands and there he goes the space station is is juristic looking as movie spaceships are now going to go from the front end of the space station all the way to the back and the space station is about the length of a football field, US Russia, Canada, Europe and Japan began building it in 1998, and it never really stopped.

The bedrooms aren't much bigger than phone we have on the size but we also have them on the ceiling and we have them on the deck the bag to keep you in place of laptops. Each astronaut spends two hours a day working out there's a weight machine with vacuum tubes instead of weights, a treadmill with bungee cords and an exercise bike because were in space. We don't need to sit down. When we use this bike so there's no seat.

There's a reason for all that exercise zero gravity life is a real number on your body. Are there any long-term effects don't return once you been on earth for a while there can be absolutely it is hard to prevent having some bone loss, but after my last mission. I lost about 2% bone density, and it took years for that to kinda come back.

Mike and Ike have also mastered the finer points of dining in space so I did a little bit of peanut butter most of the food comes ready to eat a lot of but not all go cracker this location. So now all have her jelly and because your inner second-grader wants to know. Couple things about our toilet. You can see there is a can hear and that's where the solid waste is collected in the urine is collected as follows urine separately were able to recycle that yes the astronauts recycle their P in space water is a precious resource. These stations recently celebrated 20 years of being continuously occupied what you miss most while you're up there.

I miss my family and you know I just can't wait to see my kids at the airport or wherever I bump into the first. I will also tell you one of the things I miss most weather up here.

It never changes.

It is always 70°. It was nowhere. There's no rain there's no snow, no humidity. I mean it's just just constantly the same hopper say rain reminded. I miss the shower on the other former astronaut Peggy Whitson sometimes misses space after my first flight I return to earth and I was laying on the bed and threw the covers and just did the lightest push on the bed and expected to float to the bathroom and I was like oh my is going to take a lot more work to get there than that she spent more time up there than any other American. Much of it is the commander of the space station. The grand total number of days you are in space 665 days. That's equivalent of a flight to Mars is that right yes you can get to Mars and back in 665 days so I'm proof it's doable. 20 years of space station science yield hundreds of breakthroughs in fields like whether astronomy, biology, materials, and especially medicine, Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease, and so on.

The salmonella that gives you food poisoning and actually became more value-added in space and then they were able to actually develop a vaccine for that worms mice and rats are often on board to help NASA study the long-term effects of zero gravity.

They seem to like it just fine.

Understanding the physics of how things work without gravity weight sometimes figure out ways to better understand how things work in gravity, but for the humans on board seeing our home from space is always spectacular.

You look out the window AC planet Earth and you look at anything you have in this atmosphere is and how delicate it looks. If you happen to be near a window and you're flying over the Sahara desert. The whole room will get this golden glow PT orangey glow. The best views on the station are from what's called the Kubla Kugler is the window that faces down at the earth, and it is a pretty incredible view really never does get old talking to astronauts never gets old either. But eventually it was time for Col. Hopkins and Cmdr. Glover to get back to their mission. The greatest thanks for all you do.

This is used in a CR that concludes the event that you this is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA. Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States for an era of sustained great power competition states put her mind to something, we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and purely as our strategic situation or situations not being matched up follow. Intelligence matters were ever you get your podcasts stop a story that tastes as good as it looks it can be hard to know where to look along Italy's stunning Amalfi coast. This picture-perfect setting is a sort of natural green frame. There heresies carved into the mountainside for centuries, lemons have been grown, its 11 form with the amazing happier here that I think so. If it were possible to NV produce well maybe it is these lemons sit perched over Amalfi unbridled by budgets or travel bands. They should be good oil Salvatore a check to Lisa sixth generation lemon farmer roots here run deeper before Amalfi became a ritzy tourist destination was the first maritime Republic of what is now Italy. Trade was vital and about a thousand or so years ago lemons were imported, they thrived on this mountainous terrain and became a key ingredient in the culinary landscape used in dishes even painted onto them all together with his dad Luigi and son John Monaco.

He forms the steep terraces looking out into the valley.

Here you see the lemon terraces throughout this is the half of all you check twos lemon Grove totals about 2700 trees and about 1300 steps. It's tough on the knees but good for the heart is evil. Lemons their life and 87 years old. Luigi is still working and don't have a lot of nerve.

Your grandfather told me he had lemon juice as that happened to you yet. I John Monaco was studying agronomy and is the seventh generation. Here you will be contending with the changing climate and another challenge without the possible to the other conference that is lemons because they have less cost tourists at least pre-covert when they had visitors here made up more than 50% of the check twos business. They come for two hours or tastings. One of things that surprise me when I first saw this Amalfi lemons was almost like Apple everything was Salvatore's wife Jovan runs the cooking classes but with no tourists. She made a lemon pasta shall materially just for us little garlic parsley and lemon.

We joined the three generations for lunch when you are away at school miss all of this family. Of course the pasta almost everything about others at the table including this reporter did not agree. It's delicious. The pasta was followed by a lemon chicken matzo cheese cooked in a lemon leaf and then a lemon towards all served.

Of course, on a lemon tablecloth and polished off with some limoncello over there own production we tried you why it's our cousin Luigi a check though. Talk to us through the process.

Use lemon rind to her alcohol and sugar then let it rest for several days that I'm on lunch at a law that may be set on me from being the most requested problems in the town of VA three though ceramics have a familiar theme.

It's a way to celebrate and immortalize this perishable product in the sensory overload that is the Amalfi coast at least one family here would argue that taste is the sense that winds really good former Pres. George W. Bush has found most common way to spend his retirement as CBS evening news anchor Nora O'Donnell learned during a visit just a few days ago. Springtime in central Texas doesn't get any better than this. The bluebonnets are in bloom across the 1600 acres of Prairie Chapel Ranch south of Dallas prepared a special lunch retreat for former Pres. and First Lady George W. And Laura Bush were they once entertained world leaders know Mr. Bush is a step back from the world stage. Now his trademark insulting humor are as strong as ever and I call them Pres. Davis tree farm, Bush did take out one of our cameras excuse thing.

I am not driven a car on a road, 1993 before you were born one in studio 41.

I can smell the occasion for our visit is the release of the new book of his oil paintings out of many, one. Portraits of America's immigrants welcome to my studio is a wonderful place the payment is a wonderful place to hang out his subjects range from the famous to the not so famous, they are all equally celebrated by this 74-year-old commander-in-chief turned artist when your husband started painting was shot never looked at art major American collection and the White House expressed no interest is not legend you know.

In retrospect, it was longing for learning presence is a great learning experience and then all of a sudden you're not Pres. and by chance or read Winston Churchill's essay painting as a pastime and it got me thinking about painting and is associate federal boring. I can pay. As I started the paintings themselves are much more than art. They are a timely message to Washington. Do you want to be involved in away in a way I don't want to be prescriptive. Tell Congress how to do this or that. I do want to say the Congress. Please put aside all the harsh rhetoric about a migration please put aside trying to score political points on either side. I hope help set a tone that is more respectful about the immigrant, which may lead to reform of the system you gave an Oval Office address. These are not contradictory goals. America can be a lawful society and a welcoming society. At the same time it's been 15 years.

Still, nothing's been done. No executive orders but all that means is that Congress is doing his job. Is it one of the biggest disappointments of your presidency. Yes, it really is. I campaigned on immigration reform. I made it abundantly clear the voters. This is something I intended to do, despite bipartisan backing reform failed during Mr. Bush's tenure.

Years later made a centerpiece of his campaign for bringing drugs that bring in crime their rapists and some I assume are good people problem with the immigration debate is that one can create a lot of fear coming after you. But it's a nation that is willing to accept the refugee or the harm or the frightened to me as a great nation and we are great nation, the former president supports a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants if they pass a background check and pay back taxes that were at the proposal I present time would you lobby your own party to support that I am right now my own party listens to the question though is refrained from criticizing his successors. He told us there is a clear difference between him and Pres. Donald Trump will now by a understanding it shows Mr. Bush left office in 2009, with approval ratings is poor is the state of the economy at the time she hears something yes comedy special lines .2 thousand 16 opening Museum of American history and culture.

There was that moment. Of course you and Mrs. Obama but became more famous as when I gave her the deltoid. McCain's funeral and it shocked me when we got the card Barbara Jenna said hey you're trending and the Americans they were so surprised that Obama friendship could be friends think it's a problem that Americans are so polarizing there thinking that they can't imagine a George W. Bush and Michelle Obama French Mr. Bush's position on immigration does set him apart from his party's most strident voices and while he no longer has the bully pulpit of the presidency. He hopes his paintings will speak louder than words.

The portraits that you have done a beautiful change policy doesn't but it's a part of hopefully creating a better understanding about the role of immigrants in our society. Mine is just a small voice in what I hope is a chorus of people saying let's see if we can solve the problem. One week till the Oscars and Holly Williams is in conversation with one of the nominees, Carey Mulligan, what I would love to bounce this with the community we took a stroll with Carey Mulligan Down Memory Ln., London Spain Wednesday love listening to pound the pavement face started out vying for pots just 18 when things happen maybe later getting killed.during theater rose again left yeah I love it I Mrs. B makes to play screen Mulligan T very. Dramas for a woman to define feelings in a language chiefly made by men to express that she's one praise is one of the most courageous doctors of her generation from the great Gatsby to suffragette performances combine vulnerability that can one last thing in life and stealing us. I'm drawn to stories about women feel real and honest and not just the bits that all kind of prissy runs and seems growing up in a small Englishtown acting was the only thing she ever wanted to do that. She was rejected by every drama school. She applied to protect everywhere, and yet you can have some pretty strong I watch the other people additionally were brilliant like a yeah like a mill like it, but I think I could be and she was right. 23 she won the nomination for an education place manipulated by an old man sounds like now Mulligan's gone. It not promising young woman a revenge thriller character wreaks vengeance best friend is sexually she visits by drunk okay to expose the main prey on women nice guy. I love the films one rave reviews make some people uncomfortable down a couple of things that righteousness is about guys, are not these films where men all revenge like a mission for somebody that they love never had any of those mending the fight is crazy.

She's basically doing the same thing. Actually what she's doing is a little drastic than little of the things that happen in these other films but she's crazy promising young woman is the feature debut of) directed Emerald Finnell shot the film in just 23 days while she was seven months pregnant, nominated for five Oscars punch of a movie. Shades of Hitchcock world is not great Emerald Finnell plan without heads yeah and described like abusive.

He wrapped the county that you just can't wait to taste. But when you swallow it you realize it's poisonous. Ironically, while promoting the film, Mulligan was swept up in a controversy about 60 them in an interview last year she criticized a review of the film published in variety said she was an odd choice for the role and playing the pot. She wears her pickup bite like bad drag. We know this appearance has nothing to do with these situations variety later apologized but Mulligan's worried that the critic who wrote the review has been online and says went missing the big picture. Everybody makes mistakes all the time.

But if we got a bit more grace for each other instead of deciding that one person is inherently in the wrong way to look more how we can work together how we can improve things moving forward beyond the initial condemnation feel sorry if authority away from the limelight Mulligan's life P is a picture of bucolic police. She lives in the English countryside with her husband Marcus Mumford, lead singer of the band Mumford and Sons and their two young children hosted Saturday Night Live last weekend sort of signal opening monologue sacred couple signals that you think we have to these days.
