Was checking on Jetstar and realised that the tickets are really cheap (only $280) despite the fact that its over a public holiday period.
Depart Thurs evening 6pm, return Sunday night 1035pm.
You will probably need to take a day off (2nd May) if you have a job.

We can either share a room or have separate rooms (depending if we get along) and we can do some stuff together. Not necessary to go everywhere together, but probably hanging out in the evening for a couple of drinks will be good.
