Sugarland Share Memorable Moments of Journey Overseas

Country music's hottest duo, Sugarland, is currently across the pond to promote their latest album, 'The Incredible Machine,' which was released overseas today (February 7). Despite their hectic schedule, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush found time to crack jokes with the fans about their culture shock while visiting the United Kingdom and Ireland.

"We're learning a lot about looking in the opposite direction when stepping off curbs, and there is much jockeying for position during taxi and van rides through the curving, narrow streets of that spectacular city [London] so as to not end up facing backwards in the car," they write on their blog. "But motion sickness is no match for the sights whizzing by: Royal Albert Hall! Harrods! Big Ben! The Tower of London! Our ride to the airport at dusk was breathtaking, all those bridges and buildings lit up against the sky, ancient and modern architecture clustered together in a pile of 'Ooh! What's that?'"

The pair revealed few challenges they faced throughout their travels due to stormy weather, but bravely soldiered on with the ultimate goal of enjoying one of the biggest perks of Ireland's culture. "Bit of a delay last night getting to Dublin: high winds held the planes from reaching Heathrow, but our pilot did a masterful job landing in the gale," Sugarland shares. "Today, water is blowing horizontally out of fountains, and Kristian's a little worried about keeping his hat on in the gusts when we head out for 'The Late Late Show.' Fingers crossed we make it to the pub later, as the craving for Guinness has reached epic levels."

No word yet on whether they were successful in their endeavors. Sugarland will continue their tour, which includes the recent addition 'American Idol' alum Casey James as their opening act and previously announced acts Sara Bareilles, Matt Nathanson and Little Big Town, March 3 in Houston, Texas.
