In August 1880, the family moved to Great Britain, where Fanny helped to patch things up between Robert and his father. Always in search of a climate conducive to Stevenson's ailing health, the couple travelled to the Adirondacks in the US. In 1888, they chartered the "Casco" out of San Francisco and sailed to Western Samoa. Later voyages on the "Equator" and "Janet Nicoll" with Fanny's son Lloyd Osbourne followed. They settled in Upolu, at their home Vailima, where Stevenson died on 3 December 1894.
