Subject: calculating days to go using date class-help needed

consider this code stub
require 'date'
today = DateTime.now
puts "Datetime.now returned: "+today.to_s
birthday = Date.new(2011, 10, 10)
days_to_go = today-birthday
puts "Days to go: "+days_to_go.to_s

It prints a number like -52632699/21600000

How do I get it to show true number of days, i.e. a number like 25

Thanks in advance!

Joe
