Part of the problem is the startup mentality. PTO is a signifcant part of your compensation package, and you have the right IMO to take it. Maybe not on a moments notice (like your coworkers do), but given the fact you have so much banked I'd polietly lay down the law so to speak with your manager. Happy workers are productive workers...
Giving notice and working it out 2-3 + weeks in advance is more than adequate in most situations, and allows time to find someone to cover for you. Unless the business is like a 2 man partnership startup or something, I don't think what you are asking is unreasonable.
If you said..."I need the week of xx off" 2-3 weeks in advance. No biggie. Where you are going is none of their business.
If you said..."I need the week of xx off" 2 days before hand, that's a tough spot for the employer.
