Answer

今天是Friday，如果是Monday去Brooklyn，可以说：

1. 我还要 再过两天 才去Brooklyn    /    我还要 再等两天 才去Brooklyn 
2. 两天之后，我才去Brooklyn    /    两天后，我去Brooklyn
3. 在去Brooklyn之前，我还有两天时间  / 我还有两天时间才去Brooklyn
4. 距离去 Brooklyn的日子，还有三天时间

BTW，我一直搞不清清楚Until的用法（比如 colleague left a message said: I  won't come back until 23th Aug, I'am not sure whether or not he will come to office in 23th Aug,or he will be in office in 24th?)，在这里Until=Before？

Answer

There are still two days until/before I go to Brookly

兩天之後 我要去Brookly

再過兩天 我要去Brookly

距去 Brookly 之日 尚有兩天

Answer

There are still two days until/before I go to Brooklyn = 过  两  天  我  就  要  去  布鲁克林
