ASHANTI - ASHANTI'S SHORT TROPICAL VACATIONS

R+B beauty ASHANTI insists on jetting off to a tropical location whenever she gets any spare time - even if it's just for a day.

The WHAT'S LUV? singer admits she often travels away from her New York home in search of sun, sand and sea whenever the smallest window of time opens.

She says, "If I had a free weekend, I'm off to somewhere tropical. I don't care if it's just a day and a half - I'd be kicking it in the Bahamas, drinking virgin strawberry daiquiris poolside."
