I am a self taught intermediate - upper intermediate speaker with conversational spanish. My wife and I had the privilege of staying in Costa Rica this past May for 2 weeks at a spanish language immersion program/school, as well as staying with a family. It was absolutely phenomenal!!!! My only regret is that I couldn't stay for a couple of months.
But the problem is it's soo hard to keep myself learning spanish until I'm fluent here in America because there's nothing but English around me all the time! Anyone have any suggestions of what may help me to get to an upper advanced to fluent level of speaking Spanish, short of moving to Puerto Rico or Costa Rica?

Try picking up Spanish language newspapers and listening to Spanish radio.

Sure, hang out with people who don't speak English too well. I had that problem, my spanish was horrible, so I listen to spanish news, hung out with people who spoke little spanish, and more so I read in spanish with a dictionary. And studied hard, I would stay the whole weekend studying for a test. I went to spanish 101. But your best bet is reading in spanish.

Try watching spanish language TV and movies, with closed captions if they're available. It helped me a LOT with my english!
