OK, roughly you'll have to:

(1) Rip up the carpet and pad.
(2) Remove all the tack strips from the perimeter.
(3) Scavenge all the staples that didn't come up when you pulled the pad.
(4) Pop off the base moulding.
(5) Use a jamb saw or dovetail saw to make enough room under any door jambs.
(6) Fix squeaks. Check the subfloor for low & high spots. Prep as necessary
with leveling compound and sander (hopefully, the floor is level enough that
that's all that's necessary).
(7) Sweep thoroughly. Sweep again. And again. Laminate will let you know
if you left crap on the floor.
(8) Lay underlayerment
(9) Lay the easy parts of the floor (the square areas)
(10) Futz around slicing the laminate to fit the non-square areas, dealing with
the interfaces to the non-laminate parts of the perimeter, etc.
(11) Replace the mouldings, refill the nail holes, touch up as necessary.

Figure a day for 1-7 unless you just want to slop the job and skip the leveling
compound. Not recommended -- laminate doesn't like a non-level floor.

Another day to do 8-10. Of course, since you're doing this on a weekend,
you'll be short a couple piece of transition that you need to finish the job,
and the supplier will be closed, so figure on finishing up in the evenings
during the week.

A couple-three hours to do #11.

Frankly, except for the carpet demolition, this is really a one-person job --
two inexperienced people will get moving too fast and not take time to worry
about the transitions, which is where all the time gets spent.

Have your chop / table saw relatively close to the work area -- otherwise you'll
waste tons of time running back and forth while you chop your angled cuts.

I'd allow more than a single weekend for "finished" -- you can get 95% done in
two days, but that other 5% is the difference between a workmanlike job and a
hack job.
