How do you say there are "x" number of days until some event or something?


How do you say something like: "There are 8 days until I go on vacation"? I'm
pretty much confused on the how to say "x days/hrs/weeks until blank".




> 誕生日まで（あと）８日です。  
>  There are 8 (more) days until my birthday.

(Sidenote: ８日 can be pronounced 「ようか」 or 「はちにち」, though I think NHK recommends
「はちにち」 for time intervals like this.)
