Really, just about anywhere south of Orlando should work.

If you just want to get some familiarity with the language and pick up some vocabulary, get the free Duolingo App for your smartphone. It's like a game where you get points and stuff for successfully completing levels. You can compete against friends, etc. I've been doing it for a few months, I'd be willing to be Duolingo buddies with you or any other FBGs if you like the idea of competition.
With that said, I'm not sure that Duolingo will ever actually make me proficient in Spanish. If you want to become fluent, you'll probably need to do a whole lot more than just play the game.

I've heard many times that the only way to become truly fluent is to actually live where that is the native language and you have no choice but to speak it all the time. After a year or two you will be proficient.
If that's not an option, supposedly Rosetta Stone is the best program.

The Pimsleur method is kind of older-school than Rosetta Stone, and is still solid.
While those kinds of systems can help you start "thinking" in your target language, the conditions while learning alone at home are very different than when interacting with live native speakers. eoMMan, any Spanish speakers you know that might be willing to help you out with some conversation?
If not, you might be able to put a call in to a local high-school Spanish teacher, or one at a local community college or university. They may offer tutoring themselves, or be able to suggest resources, language-learning clubs, etc. In any case, you will need some live-speaker interaction to get all that far in learning to speak another language.
You can learn to read Spanish passively, but not speaking (much).

Probably doesn't qualify as the "easiest" but I like where your head's at.
