We used the Rosetta Stone program before we went to Italy. It worked far better for DH than for me. I'm a person who learns better by studying books, then practicing, whereas he is much more of a visual and aural learner, so RS played to his strengths.

Also, if you've already taken some Spanish, you'll be surprised how much comes back to you as soon as you start studying and using it again. I took two semesters of French in college (many moons ago) and never used it since, but in French Switzerland this summer, without any additional studying I was able to read signs, and make myself understood in the stores and restaurants.
