I had a similar problem while trying to learn German a few years ago. The class was in an informal conversational setting, which I think only contributed to my difficulty of NOT thinking up Spanish responses. Then when I tried leanring Dutch, I had difficult not thinking of German responses, or past that, Spanish again.
Indeed, I don't see adiós, being the primary good-bye, being related to those of French or German. Perhaps when France was deciding who to trade good-byes with they turned to the east instead of the south. Probably when the Spanish were busy fighting off those moors.
